Hi Chris

I'm using Debian, so I take extra care of that distro.

You might want to include a few hotfixes patches:
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/mdbtools/0.7-2/gmdb2_double_free
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/mdbtools/0.7-2/binaries_to_string

Additionnaly, I wrote a few bash-completion snipet a packager might like:
http://sources.debian.net/src/mdbtools/0.7-2/debian/mdbtools.bash-completion
http://sources.debian.net/src/mdbtools/0.7-2/debian/mdbtools-gmdb.bash-completion
I plan to merge these in the main github repo. Any idea where it should go?
In a dist/ directory maybe?


Cheers!
