On the other hand, you seem to know what the problems are and are apparently motivated enough to fix them, so why not try and fix it yourself? I'm sure people will be happy to answer general questions about which headers should be included to include which declarations, even if they don't have time to dig into the code itself. Also, have you tried mailing the maintainer? -- In theory, theory is better than practice. In practice, it isn't. James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland. http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
