HI Frodo,
I tried this just now. The code comlies all the way to ie_imp.cpp
where it fails becaase it can't find
<psiconv/data.h>
I think you'll have to tweak your abidefs.mk file a bit to get this picked
up correctly.
You'd better rename all your own psiconv includes in /usr/include
/usr/local/include directories to make sure the includes from the peer
directory get found.
Regarding Lists, I get your point about mixing styles in lists. We don't
have to do things this way. I'll see what can be done about it.
Cheers
Martin
