[openi18n-im:01299] Re: [proposal] distribute parts of im-sdk separately

Sorry for not noticing this proposal earlier.  Sounds all very 
reasonable, and in fact pretty close to what I'm about to do for the 
official Debian packages.

Agreed.  Also, I think it'd be better to use things like pkg-config to 
simplify maintainance.

How does GNOME deal with this?  I think they install the m4 macros 
directly to /usr/share/acfiles...

How about iiim-client-* for these?

Looks fine to me.

Sounds reasonable.

I gather this is for post-12.2, correct?
