Hallo world! The current version of ET++ that has been distributed
seems not to work. Without any success at all I have tried to build
it.  Many people that has sent mail to me seems to have had the same
problems as I have had.

I would be grateful if Erich Gamma or Andre Weinand why it is so difficult
to build ET++ this time. 

I also found some rather strange files in the distribution:
et2/src/PathLookup.h contained this:
---------------
...
class PathLdsfsdfsdfsdhfkjsdfkjsdhfksdhfjsf`
while true do echo blabla
ich tkdkd sadjflf gehdfs fddsfsdfkdf sdfklsjdfjfjfdfkjsaflsjdf
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
jkjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
...
ookup: public Object {
friend class PathIter;
    char *path;
...
--------------------
Why does this file contains this stuff? The file is OK to use because
macros prevents that stuff from being include, but isn't it a rather
strange programming style to have this junk in the file. ;-)
