I used it to build the last release (0.2.0-beta) , with the changes I already 
mentioned and my own version of a doxygen file (since the doc/ directory was 
empty in the previous release), on Redhat 8.0, 9.0 and Enterprise 3.0. 

However, with the current CVS version, I am having problems with zlib files. 
To temporarily remedy the problem, I just removed zlib from CONFIG since most 
linux systems have it. Perhaps this should be a win32 only directive? FWIW, I 
know that libxml2 requires zlib for their Windows version. You may want to 
see how they handle the issue. I know that they have a version you can 
download if you only want to link against it.

I see that anonymous CVS is still behind the main servers. Ugh!

Sounds like I picked the right one then. It looks like I have to tweak the RPM 
spec file as a result. However, I'll wait until I get your CVS changes.

Sure does. However, I couldn't find the resulting library for a minute then I 
looked at the qwtplot3d.pro file and found it. It was just different from 
Linux (and from regular Qwt, FWIW) so it confused me. :-)

Alas, maybe I'll get the update tomorrow.

You're welcome.
