Excuse me, I was not precise :

Builds (means the process from sources, until packaging ): Maho does

The build process is now well known, and we must concentrate our efforts 
around development and communication to improve the visibility and 
transparency of Mac OS X porting project.

About where the user can download can download the build, I have still 
no idea : maybe Stefan can help here ?
I guess we will use both  (more safe ), because Maho is able to provide 
a dedicated location.
Mirors are important too because they will help to save Maho's bandpath.

>>Build is made using Mac OS X 10.3  (aka Panther ).
>>Minimal version required : 10.3.4 (10.3.8.adviced)

Looks like it was a good idea to talk about the exact configure command 
line  :-)

Yes, you're right : I have given this command line as example, and the 
exact content will be completely defined with all comments, no problem.

If a compatibility patch does exist, it must be integrated. Can you send 
me this patch, please ?

They are : thank you !   :-)
