Let's say: as long as I appreciate the work done by the developers,
it's a pleasure to do the 'too much work'.
And I do expect the Freetype problem to disappear soon.
(yep: optimistic attitude)

When closing GNU Bg (since 0105) there is a GTK warning... but I assume GTK+
2.2 will deal with that one too.
There were memory leaks mentioned by others (especially Win98 users I
think), but here (WinME, PIII 500, 256 MB) I didn't run into problems yet.
(and just looking at 030105 CL 1.911 and 030117 CL 1.948 .... you could all
tap yourselves on the shoulders. great job)
