Ok, I'll try to come with something when I find time.

I am allready doing that... Almost all the issues that were raised
during the review are fixed, except for the compilation warnings and
some issues regarding man pages and header files namespacing.

However, there is the separate issue of you becoming fedora extra
contributor. If I've understand it well you want elektra in fedora 
extras but you don't really want to be a fedora contributor. In that case
you could just close the review, and wait for somebody to resubmit
elektra. I'll do it myself if nobody else step up, once I think elektra
is ready for fedora extras.

There is one on fedora. But this code is a portability layer that may
be required on some platforms that will lack ltdl. More portability 
layers may be needed in elektra, since it uses, among others

memset nl_langinfo setenv setlocale strcasecmp strchr strrchr 
index rindex strtol ctime_r getuid getgid

and also mkstemp. But it is not a high priority issue, since there doesn't
seems to be a need to port on many platforms currently.
