That's fine.  I package a lot of things, and sometimes I find that what
is actually released has non-obvious issues compared to what's in the
repo.  But because viking uses autoconf/automake, and me typing make
dist should get pretty much what you get, there's no real issue.

I did build and test from git.  This was uneventful.  My notes:

  I noticed that left-click to zoom left the map point under the cursor
  still under the cursor instead of moving it to the middle.  Arguably
  more intuitive, but surprising after learning the old way, so should be
  in NEWS.

  The NetBSD nan patch is integrated; thanks again (I'm sure I sent this
  in a long time ago :-).

  Needs NEWS.

  make distcheck fails because it doesn't carry the CPPFLAGS from the
  invocation of configure.  (Not sure if that's legimately a bug, and I
  don't expect any of you to fix it, but thought I'd mention it.)

  Building the tarball with pkgsrc gives me:
    => Bootstrap dependency digest>=20010302: found digest-20111104

  and there is no 'help' in the tarball.

I'll try to figure this out, but wanted to send a report.
