These modifications need some time to sort out the best solution and to code so I wouldn't suggest quickly forcing changes into the 0.15 release.
We're discussing how to manage the proposed changes, and it's likely that we'll give you SVN write access so you can start working in a branch. Does this sound OK? We'll need a sf.net username.
What I will do over the next few days is to write a proposed Build System section for the manual which can be discussed, agreed and act as a specification.
As promised, attached is a Geany.html with my first cut at documenting the proposed changes to the build system. To help you find the changes which are in several places I have attached an OpenOffice document version of the geany.txt file with changes marked using writers change marking facility. You may want to mark this up further with your comments so we can keep track.
Maybe it's just me but working through OpenOffice is not a good option. OpenOffice is a big suite of software and many people using and developing Geany don't have it installed. For discussing changes I would prefer we did it on the ML.
Could you send the geany.txt file so I can diff it?
