Not compiling at all is not, so if nobody has time to implement 2 or 3, we'll have to do 4. --Guido Is this thread still alive?

At least I still have this on my todo list.

Thank you! As this involves autotools magic, I hope Martin (who assigned the patch to himself) can look over it instead of me.
