I vote:  yes, except for the version number.
I am agaist 1.0 without having our network code fixed.
Stephs numbering scheme 1, 2, 3 is much better.
It does not suggest anything about stability.
It does not say it is stable.

Complete rewrite sounds harsh.  I'd assume you can exchange autotools
without having to dig deep into glob2 code.

In case you meant rewriting the whole of glob2.
This would (should and will) take a whole lot of time.
Probably as long as it took to write glob2 in the first place.

Can you explain the essentials of doxygen documentation somewhere
sometime.

Savannah does not support subversion yet.  The software they use does
support it.  And one maintainer tried a test project.
As soon as they'll support it we should change.
But there are better systems than subversion ...
