[Adonthell-general] Adonthell v0.4

[Roope Havu]

Hello,
I played Waste's Edge some time ago and was impressed,
I liked it, and so did my friend (implements girlfriend, that...)
Great project, great job.

So I tried the recent v0.4 codebase to see what's there,
and if I could get it to compile (and run).

Well, I did, with just two problems:

First, 
having some stuff in the environment confuses configure.
More exactly, the configure in libltdl/ can't handle
environment variables on the command line, but tries to 
think of them as architectures. And it claims that
'CC=gcc' is an unknown host type (imagine that), and then
that only one host type can be specified. So I fixed
that by unset'ting CC and CXX, which it complained about.
Well I don't know whose fault that is, though...
maybe autotools'? (I got autoconf 2.57 and libtool 1.4.1)

Second,
SWIG complains about the function definitions in the file
python/callback_support.h in the macro
PYTHON_AS_CALLBACK_SUPPORT, I think because the functions
are defined outside of their class (and thus outside their
namespace, which I don't think SWIG supports (yet?). I do have
SWIG 1.3.19, but not CVS.) So I fixed that by stripping the
python:: prefix and wrapping the contents of the macro
in namespace python { ... }.

I don't know if there's much sense in sending in
bug reports (or whatever) at this point in development,
really... but I wanted to let you know somebody's
paying attention :)

So should I now look into the adonthell-0.3 branch of CVS?
Will stuff be ported to v0.4 from there or written from
scratch for the new base? Or what? (Maybe I should read more
of the discussion in the mail archives... I did, but maybe
I missed something and am lazy and such to ask this...)
That is, what is needed to get something (like a guy walking)
running on the new codebase? Porting from old code or completely
new code? Or what about graphics?
Just interested I guess. Hope to see more Adonthell in the
future, too.

Enough rambling, already. 
Thank you for Waste's Edge already,
