Is everybody ok with releasing 0.46 this weekend? I've only seen i18n
updates from Richard so far, can the other people keep up the pace or
should we delay the release another week?

Also, there have been no improvement on the build front, despite that
I've collected a couple of personal "yes it works" notifications.
Somebody contacted me privately that he wanted to setup a Gentoo
buildbot. I've pointed him to the wiki which explains the setup, but
haven't heard anything from him since that.

We also got recently a notification that 0.45 (and likely also 0.46)
won't compile on gcc-4.5:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565083

I don't know the release schedule of gcc, but maybe we could fix this
one specific issue before 0.46 is out, because I doubt we have another
release out in a month or so, so 0.46 will be around for a while.

Thomas.
