oki, if we don't hear any major objections now i guess it's time to
switch to these newer versions.

actually i haven't heard from him for a while now - not sure what he's up
to at the moment. 

maybe it'd be a good idea if you'd provide some patches against current
cvs that show what you're doing currently.

btw: there are two items on the todo list for the xine makefiles, not
sure if you could do anything about them:

- merge xine-utils into libxine (so xine will come as a single library
  with only one .so version number). one aproach would be to move
  the source files from xine-utils to xine-engine, but maybe there's
  a better way so the utils sources could stay in their own subdir

- add an arm compile target, the handheld guys need this
  (i'll cc this mail to max who requested this - apparently he will
   provide a patch for this soon)

you can come to #xine on irc.openprojects.net, i've been there quite
often recently ("gooofy") but unfortunately there's not much going on in
that channel.

cheers,
