Regarding conservativeness, I do feel that we should do more in the
user (and developer) friendliness end. The idea that a normal user
will read tutorial and follow the instructions is plainly wrong. There
are also some discrimination against windows system so
windows-specific changes are harder to be accepted (e.g. space in
path, scons, .C=>,cpp conversion, msvc/pch). Scons still managed to
get in though. :-)
There is no discrimination against windows. The problem with e.g. paths
with spaces is that somebody needs to do the dirty work and create a
patch. I predict that it will go in within hours if it does not involve a
dirty hack.
Look also at the QApplication problem: I asked for testing by windows
people, and the only response I got was from Peter. I am not motivated at
all to continue fixing bugs for other people if they can't be bothered to
even test the patches.
Year... sorry about that, please don't think I was not interested but it
was difficult to test your patch with my tree at the time. Is your patch
in already? FYI, I have plans to do some more cleanup in this field that
I hope will resolve the problem once and for all. For now, the #ifdef
and static trick will do I guess.
