Hi,

While searching for the current MC homepage/download/cvs etc
(btw where is it? i still not find it, the http://mc.blackdown.org/mc/
url points to some java4linux crap!) i've found an interesting mail:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc-devel/2002-May/msg00017.html

mentioning that gmc is no longer supported and is being obsolete.
I thought i'm the only not using/liking gmc and wanted to remove gmc
from the code years ago. Yes, I was who started AMC 3 years ago, to
make a cleaner, stable mc version targeted for console only.
(ftp://thot.banki.hu/esp-team/linux/mc-4.1.35-A12pre1[.txt|.tar.gz])

Now, that i'm about leaving the MPlayer project, I plan to work again
on AMC. But I didn't decided yet if i'll continue patching the old 4.1.x
series or fork the 4.5.x code and remove the crap (mainly gmc), or maybe
start a new project from scratch and maybe porting some parts from 4.1.x
or 4.5.x.

So, the question: are you planning to remove gnome gmc hack in the
near future from 4.5.x tree?
