Since I had more time today then I thought I would have here are the
results of a first quick look:
-drop the Epoch 0, no need to set an explicit Epoch
-you seem to disable a lott of features, last time I checked those could
be disabled at runtime, please compile them in so that people who want
them can use them. I know this makes the binary slightly bigger, but it
is till no konsole or gnome-terminal. For example:
-enable the scrollbars
-enable all codepages
-drop the INSTALL file from %doc
-add the LICENCSE file to %doc
Regards,
Hans
