   Lars,   
      
   07 Feb 13 09:04, you wrote to me:

      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...)   
      
      
    LS> None of these changes are distribution specific.  At the moment I'm   
    LS> simply suppressing the build warnings (with -Wno-pointer-sign).   
      
     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...
