Yeah, that would be great, and i was going to suggest that anyway. It is a bit
diffiult right now, since alioth is down for server location power
maintenance, but this should be fixed this evening (no idea what timezone
though). So you need to go to alioth.debian.org this evening or tomorrow,
create a guest account, and tell us your acount name, and we can add you.

About the not-needed files, i guess that it is mostly the configure and
Makefile.in which i have trouble applying each time, right ?
