WML Development Recommenced

Hi all!

I recommenced working on the Web Meta Language core. See:

http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/thewml/web-meta-lang/branches/maintenance/2.0.x/

What was done so far was:

*) Patched the config/Makefile to delete the autom4te.cache directory.

*) Applied patch from Mandriva's RPM .spec file to fix compilation under 
gcc4.

*) Added many svn:ignore's to the directories to make svn status inside the 
working copy happy.

Note that the Mandriva downstream patch requires testing with older compilers 
than gcc4. So if you don't have gcc-4.x yet, please checkout the sources and 
see if they compile. It is possible that an #ifdef is in order. If 
everything's working, I'll package wml and release wml-2.0.10 and announce it 
on Freshmeat.

Next I'll start a development version in which what I plan to do was outlined 
in my previous E-mail. At first I'll use snapshots of my site at home or 
elsewhere as integration tests. (If you can contribute some inputs and 
outputs of your own, they will be appreciated). Then I'll convert the build 
system to SCons, and then get it to compile on Win32 first using cygwin and 
then using MSVC. I think it would be a good idea to release a new version of 
WML at this point, but there may be other issues I've been missing. It is 
possible we'd like to clean the source out of integrated dependencies, as 
they are now available on CPAN, or in separate and more up-to-date packages.

That would be WML-2.2.0. I'm switching to a Linux kernel-like version 
numbering where 2.1.x is, 2.3.x, 2.5.x, etc. is development and even second 
digits are for stable versions.
