Hi Joop.

Sarge heading for a freeze?  That means it'll get released as Stable
about a year from now!  :-)

Is there any way to put Hamlib 1.1.4 into the Oldlibs section and push
1.2.0 into Sarge?  Whatever programs can be built and gotten into Sarge
using 1.2.0 the better.  I don't think any of us want to be answering
questions on 1.1.4 three years from now.

Perhaps it's not as easy as I think it ought to be.
