Nice to hear you again, Smokey. You cannot imagine how much we miss you :-)

This will disappear with 0.9.x, since libgsf will not be dependency 
anymore; but it is possible that libwpd will be not the same thing 
anymore either. Let's see.

My Mac Mini is now having a break resting somewhere in a box :-)

Actually, it builds on win32 with gcc 3.4.5 and on CentOS4 with gcc 
3.4.6, so lowering requirements could be a solution. Moreover, MSVC 6 
and higher on win32 do the job too.

Very true, indeed!

The introductory sentence still applies :-)
