    Windows build time increased by 10/15% in 'recent time'
    + Windows is apparently dying too often - and people ignoring it.
    + flaky IDE integration test - disabled yesterday (Miklos)
    + perhaps also why build-time is up 10-15% - used to be 29-30mins, now 34-35 ...
        + how do we notice that ? (Michael)
           + Windows make-clean & no ccache - should be very stable time.
           + recently all trendering to 34-35 minutes.
        + check again - IDE integration test took surprisingly long (Michael S)
    windows build hanging regularely, often in make itself (cpu looping)
        + killed after three hours.
        + MichaelS's windows-native make from back in the day.
           + AI: will try to build the latest release (Michael S)
 
* l10n (Sophie)
   + work ongoing
   + will soon have a pootle upgrade (but it takes time)
 
* Signing of existing PDF files (Miklos)
   + probably noticed this feature - File menu -> Digital Signatures menu item
       + was originally only for ODF files.
       + last year we added OOXML support.
       + recently been adding this for PDF files.
   + if you open a normal PDF file - in draw.
       + file -> digital signatures; don't have please save as ODF first, can
         sign an existing file.
       + can verify existing signatures, and chain new signatures, can remove etc.
       + new feature in 5.3
          + NSS done on Linux, MS Crypto coming for Windows.
   + does it make sense to encrypt on save ? (Heiko)
       + sign was already there during PDF export (Miklos)
          + think already support encryption too.
   + may have some late-feature for 5.3 bits, but hopefully not.

AI:            + add trace with line-numbers (JMux)
