OK, there is new version released at berlios in the files section:
http://prdownload.berlios.de/peless/peless-1.125.tar.bz2
It
1) Fixes the copyright notice problem.
2) fixes some problems with fedora spec files. You don't care about this.
3) uses ax_boost_base.m4 instead of my homebrew system to manage boost
ax_boost_base.m4 is documented here:
http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ax_boost_base.html
http://www.randspringer.de/boost/
This will require that the rules file be changed. Here is a .diff

4) I have hard coded -O2 -g in CPPFLAGS, rather than let auto* tools
figure out what to do.
5) changes to the Install documetentation.
Within one week I plan to have another release that will support translation.
It will not have any new translations, but it will publish a .pot file
so that people can translate peless.
I will have to decide how to handle some parameterized translation
strings and change some c++. I need to decide if peless should use the
compose library:
http://people.iola.dk/olau/compose/
or boost::format.
Thank you for helping to get peless into debian!
