I gave my best, but now I give up. Could’t get `./autogen.sh` running.

There may be a misunderstanding due to my only medium abilities in the English language: I meant that I hope that somebody (by himself!) feels to work on it, not that he or she may be appointed by someone else. Sorry!

The fact that there *is* already a serious try for this enhancement makes me a little bit confident, as it simplifies the preferences dialog.
