The patch itself needs some updating, since some other changes
cause collisions. I will update it in a day or 2.

It is indeed based on that :-)) We even could do it based on the
Apache 2.0 api, but that is somehow trivial. The concept for now
is more important.

Not sure, what you mean here. But I assume you want
to branch for the 1.2.0 releases and development goes
into head, right??

Using libtool is not directly my goal, but it seems to make
things as porting easier. I also believe that making the build
process a bit more fixed is not a bad thing. Now it creates some
libraries of arbitrary files and things can easily extended
where a new 'gmake .depend' seem to add

I don't have Kannel as some kind of day-job, unlike some of the others
here. Meaning as soon I have some paid-work that will get more priority.
But I am willing to lead this effort. I even would not mind working on
this for some company who needs it. :-))

Cool. What about ssh on the cvs server?? That would make things
more secure on that part too.
