Hi 'Notzed', great to hear from you again.

I love it when the humor is being picked up :)
I meant 'I will be your patch bitch' :)

Well, it can't be Christmas every day 'eh ?
but would have been nice if somebody skilled picks up the
maintenance. But I guess JOAL is sort of 'complete'.

LD_LIB.. shouldn't be required anymore. Maybe you have missed the new
native library loading ?

Yeah, 'ant' is limited indeed - but it does what we tell it to do,
even though we had a hard time w/ cpptasks :)

Personally I still prefer makefiles.

I know that feeling. Since such a thing happened to me a few times,
I only run things on raid1 plus having rsync backups etc.

And while having raid1 w/ 2 disks, very often one just got killed.
Can't imagine the anger w/o the redundancy.

Really good to hear, thank you.

So I am here to look at your patches and merge them, no problem.

Cheers, Sven
