Frankly, we don't use anything tricky here. But I'm tired of those GNU
tools, truely. They are supposed to make developper's life easier but it
makes some easy things so much complicated. Sorry for being direct here,
it's just how I feel about these tools.

Yes, it's not mentionned because it's not supposed to be a problem. And
indeed, most stable packages have no problem, but things become more
complicated when it comes to CVS snapshots.
