thank you.

there are a few other things I'd suggest doing for the next edition of 
the SDK:

1. autopano-sift-C:
- replace autopano-sift-C with Tom newest build (that solved so many 
memory leaks)
- *but* keep the old "generatekeys" in the same folder (Tom has now 
deprecated but is still so useful to so many different workflows)

2. update to the latest Exiftool (this is a continuum - regressions are 
very seldom and the continuous evolution of camera models and related 
EXIF data must be tracked)

3. update exiv2 to 0.18.2

4. libpano:
- move pano13 up one folder to make more compatible with Tom's new CMake 
build for pano13. The Cmake build for libpano is very new and still not 
  fully complete, but it is already useable and makes life *much* easier 
- especially on Windows system. This will likely require a small change 
in Hugin's CMakeLists.txt.
- use the latest SVN (with the fix for the locale mangling and with 
Tom's latest CMake build

5. UnxUtils: for now leave them there but 
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ is better maintained and officially 
supports Vista too. At some point replacement should be tested and when 
the test are positive GnuWin32 shall replace UnxUtils. There also seems 
to be a 64bit relative https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin64/ but I 
have not looked into it.

6. Add enblend-enfuse. It is required to make the INSTALL target (and 
later on the installer).

7. for each folder, it would be good to document if it is downloaded or 
self-built, and the exact revision used for the build. I had to 
investigate / guess some of these (e.g. autopano-sift-C does not print 
the revision number in the help text).

8. a readme.txt file at the top level of the SDK would be helpful - a 
simple URL to the wiki page is enough for a start.

9. nice to have: add LAPACK <http://www.netlib.org/lapack/> libraries.

Everything is fine. Andrew has added GPU-stitching in a non-obtrusive 
way. The current trunk does not break existing functionality (exception: 
I have no reports yet if the new code breaks build or functionality on OSX).

take your time (focus on robustness and quality), and thank you for the 
effort.
