Hello,

I was going to start packaging Wt 3.1.5 (I've been unable to do that
before due to some health problems) but I found a couple of issues:

- Wt 3.1.4 and 3.1.5 both have the same soname (23). It's still 23 in
git, too. If you move forward to 25 in git, I will patch the Debian
package so that 3.1.5 is 24. Is that OK?

- libharu: it's not packaged in Debian, therefore I will have to take
ownership of it. Given that packaging a new library, get it in the
archive, etc represents quite a few hours of work, I'd like to know:
are you planning to move from libharu to something else (like it
happened with mxml) any time soon?

Unrelated to packaging Wt 3.1.5: the Wt installer. It is a very nice
addition! The only thing I do not like is it uses autotools :-)
therefore it is not available on Windows (which IMHO is the platform
where it'd be most useful). I started something like winst using CMake
a few months ago (discontinued due to work and health). FILE(DOWNLOAD
... ) and ExternalProject_Add (new in CMake 2.8) would make it
possible to build the whole dependency stack on every platform. I'm
sorry but I cannot work on this at this moment.
