Incidentally, the reason that gnucash has a build system from hell and is stuck with old auto* tools is because upstream is only doing minimal maintenance on the 1.8 branch, and is instead focusing all energy on a gnome-2 gnucash. Steady and good work is being made, but they quite reasonably want to leave 1.8 alone. Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
