Meant to send this to the list as well. Too bad my phone doesn't run Gnus...

The problem with that is that you need a bunch of development tools installed - possibly newer versions than your favourite distro has, since I have the bad habit of trying out new exciting features of autoconf et al :-) Keeping the generated files in the source tree makes life easier for people who just want to try out the latest version. (Or just poke at the Lisp files, without touching the build system.)

(Also, this is my normal email latency at the moment. No jabber.el hacking done since last time :-( Hopefully the weekend will be better.)

Good point. I often forget most people do not have a bazillion versions
of autotools installed.
