Ah well,
I just wanted to suggest a more sensible and clear naming scheme and
clean up a little bit, but apparently this is not appreciated :-(
(and yes, I also think it makes sense to remove old orphaned unused
5-year-old recipes, but guess I'm alone here too).
Guess I'd better not propose to remove some of those 26 (yes,
twenty-six!) glib recipes (or 8 abiword recipes )
Nevermind.
