Updated wishlist :)

Hi John,

I've some new wishes for jed:

* Can you implement the gpm and xft support as configure option. This
  would be much easier for autobuilding than patching the files. Maybe
  you can check for the library by default and if it is found you enable
  it otherwise you disable it. If the option --with-gpm is given and the
  lib is missing configure should fail.

* Can you add a file autogen[1] or the like where I can see how you build
  the configure and Makefile.in files.

  [1] http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/deborphan/trunk/autogen.sh?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

* The files src/dfasyntx.h and src/config.hin still misses a copyright
  notice.

* A small fix:

* Can you split the install target in an install-binaries and
  install-non-binaries or install-doc and install-lib target? On Debian,
  we have to packages: an architecture dependent and an architecture
  independent. To build the architecture independent package we currently
  do.

  if ! [ -e src/objs/jed ]; then > src/objs/jed; fi
  make DESTDIR=$(jed-common) install
  if ! [ -s src/objs/jed ]; then rm src/objs/jed; fi
  rm -r $(jed-common)/usr/bin/

* You should not create the directory /usr/share/jed/bin if the
  --exec-prefix is different from /usr/share/jed.

* Why do you quit jed in main.c:main_initialize() if no JED_ROOT
  environment variable is defined, even through you worked around this in
  main.c:set_jed_root(). Why not check for a non‐empty Jed_Root_Dir?

* Is the request “I need some way of getting only kbd events” in
  xterm.c:X_input_pending() still open? The answer is
  XCheckMaskEvent(This_XDisplay, KeyPressMask, &ev).

* I saw you've updated dfa.txt. Maybe you can add a note about UTF‐8
  workarounds.

Bye, Jörg.
