Lars,

   Not necessarily a good thing, IMHO, and it should make it interesting for 
me...
(LDFLAGS?)  If I leave what you currently have, (besides any other merge 
issues) I'd have to patch it or bypass it altogether for Debian/Ubuntu package 
builds...

   I'll have to see what you have there when I get the main development caught 
up (develop branch will be at the SF project, the Alioth project is just for 
the branches needed for the Debian packaging); and at least there should be 
plenty of room between the existing 0.71 and the work you've done.


 LS>   You can find all my changes at:
 LS>     http://github.com/larsks/crashmail

   I'll add a link to that on the two project pages I have for it, & later 
(like I said, I need to get caught up...) set yours up as a remote for at 
least your master branch.  (I have a GitHub account but since I'm already 
maintaining code repositories elsewhere, I don't see the point of forking 
yours instead of just linking to it...)

  Those warnings are one of the main things I wanted to work on (and one of 
the places I'd currently have to patch for the Debian packaging, changing that 
"CFLAGS =" line at least to "CFLAGS+="), but I'll have to see when I'll be 
able to do so.  May wait until after I work on getting your changes merged 
into what I'm working on, though I'm not for sure when I'll have a chance to 
work on that...
