Thanks Paul, I like this version, it addresses nearly all issues I had.

What I do miss is a reference to the
http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~bobk/garnome/arch-howto/

as getting GARNOME via arch is quite nice, once it works. Especially as 
many 'problems' tend to disappear quite fast, when updating this 
regularly (I use the stable branch from you).

I assume you excluded it intentionally, but why?

Also, I like the section about GCC 2.95 problems. But, what I never 
understood: Is there any way to build the current C++ bindings with the 
old GCC? Is this sane at all? I never filed bugs against that, as I felt 
it cannot be done. So I just moved the bindings/*mm* packages to broken 
and left dasher alone.
