Just built fine at work using Debian Testing. Didn't have time to try
building on Stable last night.

Though, on another note, in the README.CVS file, it says
"glib 2.x (if your system doesn't have vsnprintf())". How do
I know whether or not my system has vsnprintf()?

Also, I noticed a small error and omission: In the
share/nano/man.nanorc file, it should say
    syntax "man" "\.[1-9]x?$"
instead of
    syntax "manpage" "\.[1-9]x?$"

And in the ~/.nanorc, at the end of the description of how
syntax files work (but before the one about regexes), it
should say:

## The name of the syntax file (without the ".nanorc" extension)
## should be the same as the "short description" name inside that
## file. These names are kept fairly short to make them easier to
## remember and faster to type using nano's -Y option.

Actually, you might consider just having the code (or the build
tools) ensure that those two names are always identical...

Thanks,
