Nice to know :).

For information, attached is the list of relevant patches currently
applied for the Debian package. They are applied on top of each other in
the following order :
* rdf_conf_in_conf.diff
* raptor_split.diff
* enable_system_libwww.diff

The first one moves the bit configuring redland from Makefile.in to
configure.in . I had to remove "-x c" and "-x c++" from CFLAGS and
CXXFLAGS because because redland didn't seem to like them, and haven't had
any issue compiling without them so far.

The second one adds the possibility to only compile raptor if redland is
not necessary (for instance when enabling annotations but not bookmarks),
as well as to use the system-provided raptor library. It also has some
auto-detection to enable/disable redland/raptor depending on what's needed
and what can be used as a shared library. Plus it cleans up some of the
parameters, flags etc...

The third patch adds the possibility to use a system-provided libWWW, with
auto-detection of WebDAV availability, with a massive cleanup in the
various flags and options.

Note that all 3 patches keep the same behavior by default, they use the
included source code for redland/raptor and libwww.

I would really like to get feedback on the first two patches. I believe
they are in a fairly good shape, so if people could test them on other
systems and tell what's wrong, I would really like to get to a point where
they can be safely integrated into the CVS HEAD. The third one is more
intrusive and probably has a couple of corner cases where things might
break, but my focus is really to get the redland/raptor thing clean.

As usual, any comment is welcome .:)
