There's also the patch I sent way back in January that was autoconf
only (no changes needed to the makefiles) - it's needed for it to
build on other debian architectures. Once I've made the debian
package for 1.5.2 I'll post the new patch. Note, it requires
practically NO changes except for a
I have a really good autoconf/automake system for sword that was
submitted a while back from Edward Maros <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I'm
hoping to get it integrated in 1.7. Stable 1.6 should be release in a

our frontends already d

A great idea. Are you familiar with the automake / autoconf tools?
If yes, why don't you go ahead and create the necessary files
