from a few changes in the dpkg package I get the feeling that portability is not any more one of the highest prioritys (which I thought was one of Wicherts prioritys, at least)� There is for example the va_copy thing, but also now (in cvs) the libintl.h dependency. this last has not been there for long. The configure test for both is in place, but is not evaluated or the absence is not resolved in any productiv way. the build just fails.
How many systems (AIX, Solaris, BSDs...?) have a libintl.h? I see that internationalisation is IMPORTANT. Is there some way to have both, portability and internationalisation? Or is portability really not so improtant any more?
