Re: maintainer mode


Hi Philipp,

: while testing the 2.10 branch I also tested enabling maintainer mode and of
: cause all hell broke loose because I was missing the necessary tools. I'll
: investigate that issue a bit more, as I think we don't really need all those

: that's really needed is the cygettext.m4 for aclocal, as this contains the

: Until that stuff's sorted out, I think it would make much sense to place a

Well this seems like a good idea to me.  Please check it in.

Cheers
