Absolutely not... pch is in now way required. (I have even contemplated removing the support for the autotools build. Note that autoconf/automake has no support for pch, that is something I added.)
That is good. I have almost finished a msvc patch. If my tests show no significant performance boost, I will stop. Crossing out pch, my scons/TODO has only dist, distcheck etc. That will have to wait at least untill the end of summer (for the result of that scons google summer project). Abdel, what do you have in your scons/todo now? (BTW, I have not forgotten your previous bug report.) Cheers, Bo
