Hi!

There should be no "scid continued" but only a "scid". See Pascals mail about
merging our code into the main scid repositories. In other words: we are scid
now :) 

This is what you'd have to check with Peter. Actually, I missed that you
were working on a deb package and I droped him a note that there is a new
version of scid and he replied right away and said that he'd start to get it 
working. So,
there's a slight chance that you're working on the same thing right now.

For Phalanx: it might be worthwile if you could try to take over the abandoned
project anyway. If you have the time, of course.
It might work with Mikhails patch I hope. (I've no such bleeding edge stuff to
test myself, I run Etch. :)
