Maybe. I'd be for it, but I have already enough problems with automake
1.7! ;) Plenty of errors that forced me to get back to 1.6. They could
keep some compatibility at least!

What are the features of new autoconfs? From which versions? I guess it
can only be better than our tests that doesn't work everywhere :)

In C++ side you mean? Yeah, that wouldn't hurt anyway - and would only
be nice programming. Not that I want to troll or anything, *ahem* but
it's Joel's classes that cause the problem ;p

Oh, and while I'm at it. Another problem. With 0.4 this time. After
running autogen.sh and configure I end with an incorrect libtool which
doesn't set:
SED="/bin/sed"

as it should (and is done with 0.3). Therefore I end with link errors as
we had before:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link g++  -g -Wall -fno-exceptions 
-DDATA_DIR="\"/usr/local/share/adonthell\""    -o alextest  main.o

Do you remember what you did to fix that? :)

Oh, other questions. I have errors while compiling the tools in 0.3, but
nothing serious - I'll fix it (dlgedit doesn't use std:: everywhere as
it should). Still, I'd like to know which version of GTK you use so I
can use the same for my tools. Are you using 1.2 or 2.0? Why not moving
the new dlgedits to 0.4, since we should concentrate on that now?

See you and thanks,
Alex.
