Here's some issues with AxPcoords (keeping Alexis CCed).
First (this is for Alexis, for the next release), there's an #include <string.h>

Thanks for working on this.

Well done! :)
Dear David,
thanks for contacting the AMD/ATI Tech Support.
Basically ACML is a free library. You only need to provide us your details for
using this library in commercial projects.
I think we should foreward this to debian-legal mailing list. People
there are the experts.
What I'm asking is: can this library go in non-free? Or is that some of those
packages because it's "impossible to distribute" without permission from AMD?
My guess we would need some more concrete statement.
P.S.: I'm finishing the packaging and injecting a patched version which doesn't
compile the ACML version.
This might do for the moment. Let's see how we can proceed with this issue.
Kind regards
Andreas.
