it's skipped, unless you build kaffe with --enable-debug.

that's some good news. ;)

Here's my list of things that remain to be done:
* check reported build problems with qt (me)
* fix KAFFE_DEBUG_TEMPFILE security problems using mktemp (me)
* check in QPE fixes from jim huang (me)
* check in fix for libtool.m4 for m68k-amiga from tony (me)

* fix whatever problems remain with make dist and make distcheck
* update FAQ.autoconf to recommend latest versions of the tools
* update FAQ.unicode to reflect that kaffe uses Classpath's implementation now
* look into the latest freenet crash traces

If anyone could write a few manpages for kaffe tools other than kaffe (and
update kaffe.1 to reflect the current state of affairs, like the options added
in the last 3 years ;), that would be great, too.

If we could get most of that done today, freeze tomorrow and create a rc1
tarball, and release until the weekend, I'd be very impressed ;) Jim, do you
have time to organize the release?

Thanks for the reminder, I'll put it on the web. ;)

cheers,
