Thnks for that, but I dont think I will build it if it is correct that
There wont be any more 1.8 build.
And it's correct I have all the above packages & GCC4.0, and yes the
gwrap is in the 1.9.6-2 version. (wich is the latest for ubuntu)
As you know (Neil) I've struggeled a lot with these packages a moth or
two ago, so I'll just wait and see what happends in the 1.9 version.

Another question, if CVS is not more in use, and so.. why don't they
remove the translation howto, and the CVS from the page...
And why isn't it possible for me to translate on this and add it to the
1.9 version...

What will then happen if i'm translating on the 1.9 version, and they
will go to the next version? Just discard the translation?
