I have disabled the CVS menu -- note that per SF policy the CVS repository will still (and perhaps for forever) work, however, no more updates will ever occur in the CVS repository.
Work on GNE has continued in the subversion repository, where some bug fixes have been made in the trunk. A new branch, "cmake-0.75" is a branch of GNE that uses the CMake build system for UNIX builds, version 2.2 or greater. I decided to use this system instead of autotools.
When I am finished with that build system, I will merge it into the trunk as it far surpasses the old hard-coded makefile system. The readme.linux file has been updated with all of the needed information -- if anyone is willing please try it out as I have built all of GNE with it -- the only task left is to see if I can use the CMake system successfully in Windows.
After CMake is done I will add a debian packaging structure to it so I can make DEBs.
