Binaries must be marked as binaries in CVS. I guess someone has
forgotten to set the binary flag when the libs were checked in.
Now they are messed. I can do so checksumming ... again.

Stephan is talking about an equivalent to the jump-pilot-cvslog list,
not the jump-pilot-devel list.

And yes, such a list is very useful to get on top with recent changes.
Not everybody scans the ChangeLogs regularly. An e-mail notification
would be nice.

Don't you want it or don't you know how to do it? I think Paul's and
Stephan's idea is worth thinking about.
