Really ? Wonderful !

ok. Could you update the README file consequently, too ? This makes me think 
that we should update too the TiLP manual (later)...

Yes, I will.

BTW, JB has enabled Subversion on SF (a CVS-like replacement)... I will take
a look at on the WE. This may help you but I'm not a CVS guru (yet) !

I was not planned to release another version of TiLP in the 6.0 branch.
But, it may be interesting to release a new one (6.10):
- make the BSD version available while the 7.0 is in progress,
- get feedback for the 7.0,
- release Win32 fixes so that Linux/Win32 releases are up-to-date.
