Pierre, please, if you are still willing, raise the ticket and fix it. I am speaking for myself, but it seems from the other replies that nobody had objections. I had also noticed those points, but was not sure about what to do, as I have never installed or used httpd. About the sqlite, ISTR having hit the problem, but it may have been when I was not editing yet. > ---- > As a related issue, swig should be put in the book.

Here, too, if you are still willing, please create a ticket and do it. ISTR that Igor is already in favour and this is also my position. Again, previous post did not seem to object.
