will someone familiar with the autoconf tools (tzafrir? shlomi?) be able
to give us an estimate of which is easier (writing our own conf script
or using autoconf)?

this could be useful, but i dont think we need to worry about it at this
stage - our first and only priority now is to release a _usable_ 0.9
version. it doesnt have to be perfect - just usable.

what about the kde applet indeed? shlomi, there was some problem you ran
into if i remember correctly?

i will see what i can do in this regard, although documentation is
definitely not my strong side.
in other news, r2llib and biditext are now cvs'd on my machine with
tzafrir and i having commit access. i also set up 'syncmail' to send out
emails when commits are made.
* should i set up commits to be sent to the list? if anyone wants their
names added to the notification list in the mean time, just let me know.
* if maintainers of the other packages want to put their sources in cvs
as well, just let me know.
