        That sounds reasonable.

        So - the 'develop' page is in the 'website' git repository (which is
un-necessarly huge last time I looked) - so I'll mail you a snapshot
separately.

        I would -really- like to avoid the develop page becoming huge and
bloated - so, some links for each section into an equivalent section of
the wiki - would be great. Particularly for transient build issues: the
website is not -that- easy to update, and the wiki is easier. Does that
make sense ? [ do add some links and send in a diff ].

        so - really I would like to avoid this.

        My ideal is to have neither an enable or disable flag for any of the
optional pieces: KDE3 / KDE4 / GNOME etc. - but have a default of
auto-detection, so we only build if they are there.

        This will need some code changes to configure.in [ not the one in
build/ but the one in bootstrap ], and a little autoconf knowledge.
However it should solve the problem for lots of people.

        Any chance you could look at that instead ?

        Thanks,

                Michael.
