Well, if nobody steps up, i can do the build this afternoon. I have a powerpc box with enough disk space and a 1GHz G4, so it should be ok, and so you could test it afterward. I don't think i have access to your SVN repo though, so if you could maybe mail me the .diff.gz, i would be glad to build it. Friendly, Svne Luther
