I know it's obsolete/outdated/deprecated etc, but I still use kde3 so I need id for ordinary mount support... I believe that I can overcame most of compilation-time problems related with new kernel/library API, I understand that with that I'm on my own... but autotools messages are still completely unclear for me and I can't handle them my self, so I'm asking for a little support with it.
