thx for your comments :), sorry for this mistake...
As I'm not on my computer for now I can't do much immediatly, I'll work on it
after hollidays (ands perhaps after january which should be a busy month) and
resend it as you request.
You could perhaps commit at least the part of the patch that fix a typo and
allow gnome-build to compile again, it's easy to fix but would help new commers
to get started :)
