I could provide you a simple Makefile which compile and link all the
things you need whitout any external tools (g++ is required :-).
You also should find it on the list archive, because you are
not the first who ask for it.

see above

For any details about autotools related things, please wait for Bills
answers.

Please use actual CVS tree, we have fixed some bugs a few weeks ago.

If you could provide a design change which enables easier programming and!
faster execution, great! But speed and convinience are important for us :-)

Simple send small!!!! diff files with a describing mail. We will look
inside and apply the patch or maybe not. For add on it is not
a problem if the add on fits into existing design and coding.
If you want to change actual design, please lets have a discussion about 
that first. 

Regards,
