I know. But if it will be clearer after that - it's worth it.

It takes 10 minutes to read the mails about it.
Implementing, debugging, documenting takes a lot longer.
But I didn't want to be specific to the printf.

I don't think that it will take that long. More like the 10 minutes.

True. But I guess we have more programmers than glob2 users
on OS X and win32 :-(

I haven't criticized that. It's a good thing to help with an implementation.

The books would indeed be much better without it.
I don't think strong leadership is needed. Instead I feel a lack
of communication.
Take me for example: I have worked for a month on the gradient calculation,
but I haven't put it as a task in the bug tracker. Shame on me.
