CinePaint status

Hi. Hope everyone is well.

Sorry I've been away from CinePaint for a while. I've been working long 
hours and have less time for free projects. In case anyone is wondering, 
I'm still working on CinePaint when I can find free time.

My focus recently has been on the build system, something that's always 
been a sore point with CinePaint. Because I'm spending more time on Mac 
OS X lately (using Final Cut Pro), that's where I'm focusing on 
CinePaint now. I want the Mac release fully automated so anyone can 
build it from a script. That's a bit more complicated than the script I 
wrote to do that on Ubuntu because every supporting lib must be 
downloaded and built from source on the Mac, not just the app.

On the Linux side, I thought I was going to quickly wrap a release long 
ago so we can get back into Ubuntu and Debian. When I did some testing I 
found fresh bugs in the CVS version. One that's particularly annoying is 
all the windows lose their screen positions and pile on top of each 
other. That made it more effort than I'd expected and put me off. I did 
think I'd get back to it much sooner than this.
