Yeah, maybe the guy who made shave managed to push it upstream :)

I must say I haven't really paid attention to that. Maybe it just means
gtk-doc output isn't fully hidden while shave is active? I'd have to try
the small sed patch ;)

Hmmm, true. I guess this is something one gets used to. Alternatively,
we probably can convince the shave author to change it.

Yep sure :) Though we'll want to keep compat with older automakes for a
looooong time imo (I generally try to keep things working with automake
1.7 and later, dunno in which state libgpod is these days)

Yep, feel free to push them any time (if it conflicts with the shave
changes, it's no big deal to fix, so don't wait ;)
