Hi all.

I have been quite busy, but next week I can use a couple of days for
releasing new stuff, after a while...   :)

The first one will be ghemical-1.01 from MANY_PROJECTS_BRANCH. It's just
the old v1.00 plus bugfixes added during 2003. And I'm sure I can handle
this.

But for the newer stuff, it gets more complicated. There we have the
separate libraries, and the configuration issues are still to be solved.
However, there is progress here as well.

First, I have finally completed the "mopac7" project at sourceforge, in
which both the mopac7 executable and the mopac7 library needed in ghemical
is packaged in a single package. Now it has the configuration scripts and
other stuff ready, and it should install the .a and .pc files correctly
now.

Then, I have noticed that openbabel-1.100.1 is now ready to replace the
built-in-openbabel in ghemical-1.50.

So next week I hope I can fix the configuration scripts so that separate
libraries could be used instead of the current built-in ones. If that goes
well, I'll consider releasing these newer (beta) versions as well but
those may stay until 2004 as well...

Regards,
