I'm not ToutDoux maintainer at all. That's why I was unable to give
you a simple and definitive answer. 

However, I answered to your first  message (link below) to 
        - tell you what may be Philippe's position (that he confirmed
          later)
        - give you his valid email address

That said, I still do not think this message requires only a simple
boolean answer. I tried to tell you for instance that your "1)" is not
so obvious and tried to demonstrate that what you wrote can be exactly
right in others circonstances too, outside GNOME. You are free to care
about that or not. I do care, that's why I expressed my point of view.

In some way, it's similar to talking about using BitKeeper. For some
persons, it's just a technical choice and discussions are
unnecessary. For others, it have important implications.
Do not think that I associate spiritually someone with BitKeeper,
that's not the point. It's just one example that shows that some
people think some things need to be discussed while others do
absolutely not.



Finally, the tarball should be sent to Philippe directly, at
address@hidden 
I'll tell him to check his mail the next time I got him on the phone,
if he doesn't do it before.  

That's all for me.
Regards,
