I understand better there :=)
Instead of avoid #ifdef/#endif in all the sources, we'll use the
CVS and make release. People who want STABLE release, will grab
a STABLE SNAPSHOT. JTC developpers will continue from CVS.

Let be carefull here since having too much #ifdef/#endif will 'pollute'
the code. I'd like better have the EXPERIMENTAL switch as used

Ok
