That's what I had in mind to do...

I've transferred them from my laptop with a broken NIC (and no time to
take care of it) to my desktop. I did the work 2 weeks ago, and it
seems I'm not able to look at gnomemeeting for at least another week
(<insert rant about buying an used car and being confronted with a
broken gearbox after 1.5 months here>).

At least the pwlib and openh323 ports look sane to me. At least they
compile and install just fine. kwm@ has some patches for gnomemeeting,
but so far he hasn't told me that it works just fine. So somewhere may
be a bug or two.

I suggest to start with my patches of pwlib and openh323 to try to get
gnomemeeting working. And maybe you have some time to look at the TODO
list in the open323 port (nothing major, but when gnomemeeting runs we
want to add the last missing pieces to openh323)...

Bye,
Alexander.
