I'm not so sure I'm so much curious about it yet.

You know perfectly till the beginning that I'm on a Mac, since I  
always place things in context. That I compile from cvs anonymous,  
which implies there could be a delay of a day or two between the time  
a patch is integrated in cvs and the time I can reach it. You know  
exactly also till the beginning where the problem lies exactly since  
I reported it.

And from what I can see right now in <http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/ 
conglomerate/doc/C/>, the file which needs some change is still in  
the same state as four (yes 4) weeks ago.

This was true 5 minutes ago. Now the patch appears, so now it should  
compile, though note that I have not try it yet, so that I cannot  
confirm it.

Nevertheless, if cvs anonymous is 10 days behind, it's clear I cannot  
work as is.

And frankly I don't feel like I deserve so much flames, not being  
responsible for cvs anonymous slowness. So that is likely to be the   
end of my participation here.
