Please strip irrelevant parts when replying. You didn't comment on my
inline GPG-signing, and quoting it may actually confuse some MUAs :-(

Other bootstrap scripts searches the $PATH for common names of
autotools, but I actually like this approach (haven't seen it before):
It keeps the script ultrasmall and "dumb" as it should be IMHO. :-)

Excellent! I will then move to maintaining the Debian packaging at your
repository, too. In a separate subtree (not gd/libgd but gd/debian).

Unless you disagree, of course!


I probably won't help much with maintaining the code itself: I am a
packager, not a coder. So my experience is mostly with scripting
languages, and to some extend make and autotools. Not C and the like.

Ah, thanks but I prefer email: Chat tends to steal too much of my time
(as if email didn't already :-P ), gets archived (by nature, not as an
addon) and is asynchronous so I can choose myself when to dig into stuff
and read in my own pace. All in all I find email less stressful :-)
