Much appreciated!

I run run another round (ading only ~10 new dependencies, now all 
waiting Debian ftp-masters' approval).

Two points wrt copyrights/licensing:

Blocker:
* lib/Padre/Manual/Hacking.pod says:
Copyright 2008 The Padre Team.
but gives no license to use/distribute. Is this intentional or just an 
oversight? If it is intentional, I'd have to remove it from the Debian 
package.

Needs clarification:
There are several modules that say author is Steffen Mueller, but 
copyright says Gabor Szabo. Again, intentional (this is what I'd 
assume, since this is what is written) or an oversight?

All of the above can be resolved by simple mail from you. No need for 
yet another release just for them (I am also afraid of the number of 
new dpendencies a new release could bring :)).

Needs a bit more work from my side:
* share/icons
I need to check the sources, their (c) and licensing terms. I am a bit 
tired after browsing the 50k diff between 0.19 and 0.25, so that can 
wait a day or two :)

Minor note: lots of files that used UNIX line-ending (LF) not use 
Windows line-ending (CR+LF). I thought that Padre is used for editing 
the sources and that it is capable of keeping the original 
liine-endings. Is this intentional, oversight or bug in padre? The 
reason could be a bug already fixed in 0.25, but still visible to me 
because I diff between 0.19 and 0.25.

Finally, congratulations for your awesome work! The changes are 
impressive and padre is more and more coming close to the dream Perl 
editor :)
