Hi Torsten,
first of all, thanks for the patches. I will revise the windows build taking
into account your patches next weekend (sorry, this needs some time I do not
have right now)

You pull Ekiga directly from svn instead of downloading the tarball. That is a
first start, but we have to do this for ptlib and opal as well, since the
tarballs of them are really outdated. Also we do not want to rebuild all
dependencies if nothing has changed after a checkout. I will thus need to
modify your patch, which needs some time.

Also you have commented out many lines where I do not understand that it still
works at all, e.g. the compilation of ptlib...

Last thing I would like to add is that we should either specify whether to use
aclocal 1.9 or 1.10 in a single place or even autodetect this...

Matthias
