" John> JMarc, isn't this what you wanted so the patches worked OK ? This looks exactly like what I want. Should we turn this on for cvs on trunk and branch? Having the developpers configure explicitely with --enable-maintainer-mode does not seem too much to ask, is it? Lars, can I make this change? Another solution would be to do that only for the branch, but I suspect it is a bad idea. Finally, we could try to set enable_maintainer_mode correctly depending on version in LYX_CHECK_VERSION.
