[Mdate-devel] [brazyl@cc.baremetal.com: Re: dreamspell [was: mdate]]

[<mda...@li...>]

I'm forwarding this to you all because it's spurred me to do some actual work
on libmdate + mdate for a change :)

Put briefly, Karlis suggests making correlations a command-line option to
mdate, and include an option to output Dreamspell tokens.

I think a correlation option is a very good idea, as it forces me to look
again at the mess the command-line option parsing is, and the nuisance of
having a hard-coded correlation in the library. 

Another imperative was upgrading the autoconf system for the imminent Debian
3.0, and cutting down the size of the mdate package by putting gmdate into its
own module. This also has the advantage that I can finally put the gnome and
applet versions I've written into that package as well.

I've so far altered a number of libmdate functions and added a new typdef for
a correlation option; I'll put up an alpha version of the library (guess it
should be something like 0.1.5 if i'm interpreting the libtool rules
correctly) at my geocities site, because the cvs tree will need quite a bit of
work. I'll let you know when I've done that, but knowing David, he'll probably
beat me to it :)

enjoy :)
