Hopefully, starting with the next 6.xx release we should see a joint
release for Linux/Mac OS X/FreeBSD/Windows.

It means that :
 - all changes will need to be committed to the repository
 - a build on all platforms will need to be tested before the release
 - Romain finally pushes the big red button

Uh uh. That means I'll have to add plugin support on OS X. Duh.

s/CVS/Subversion/ and it should be available on Tuesday evening if the
changes between 6.62 and 6.62 are small (they should be).

Same for me.

I still have another problem, wrt libticalcs and glib
version. Although we discussed it before implementing the current
solution, I'm not too comfortable with it. Having the soname bumped to
5 still seems the right way to me, but oh well.
