Notes regarding libbow in Debian
--------------------------------

First and foremost, 'bow' is too short so I changed the name
to 'libbow' (hopefully no one will get confused by this name)

This package is provided as given by the upstream authors, only
slight modifications to include it properly in a Debian system

TODO (by priority):
- add manpage (ask upstream?) could be a  generic one, and
  symlink to a main manpage (documentation is not yet thorough
  but info could be taken from html/texi files)
- when it grows it should be divided to library/binary/documentation
- provide authors with debian package for distribution
- check reason for core dumps (when file not found...) and tell
  upstream to fix (not enough error checking in source)
- try to find an X/ncurses interface to the programs...
- add HTML documentation to Debian through docbase
- check reason why install.texi and version.texi do not make
  good info files (only libbow does)
- postinst scripts to make databases? (like remembrance-agent)

DONE:
- add contributed programs (my mail2folder, for example)
DONE (with contrib/ dir)
