Finally, I hope the sections on the architecture, system services and other
system software will include information on the APIs and the C header files
needed. I spent a lot of time simply working out what calls I needed and
where they were declared.

inclined to suggest to them that we were right, and that we should stick
to more mature technology in future. The N800 is an interesting piece of
kit, but without MUCH better documentation and properly integrated
development tools, it is too expensive to write for and more
be called abc_icon_26x26.png?
This is kind of suggested in the documentation, but it isn't stated
explicitly.
5. Will dh_make automatically uuencode the icon and place it in the
control file, or do I have to manually run uuencode and copy the text
in?

a note somewhere saying that it is for internal use.
