It may be then that things are better than it seemed. But Vincent isn't really active nowadays, and I'd like to hear from Georg. From what I've seen on the list, he hasn't always seemed completely comfortable, either, though it's true he does post some patches to the cmake stuff, and of course he can learn. That said, it's possible this is actually better than with autotools. Richard
