I really think a new version (2.2) should be released from the cvs as
soon as possible. There are no major bugs in the current cvs-version,
and there are tons of new features and fixes compared to the old 2.1
version. That old version is really outdated nowadays.

Most compilation errors connected to swig, fuse etc are also handled
automatically with the current cvs-version.
