11 double negotiaton ?? ;) sure this link means nothing, but I thought maybe it's a simple mistake in the file structure or just a displaced link, which - replaced - maybe could fix the compilation.. sadly not.

21 hm, this I expected also. but having it on ppc would be _very_ useful!
22 I'm sitting in an media university, sometimes giving tutorials to the students.
23 bringing them on their preferred hardware (ppc) an open source tool for professional video editing is one step to engage folks using free stuff _before_ they realize after study that they have to buy all that expensive closed source stuff to be able to work ..

39 well, sodipodi is compiling, but not starting, but this could have something to do with my USE of xml _and_ xml2, seems its compiled against libxml and tries to run on libxml2. will see in an hour if this was the problem.
40 additional: frontline for vectorizing graphics, runs also fine on ppc.
