Is it OK to apply the following patch to autogen.sh? revpath comes as part of the imake package. There is no particular reason this should be installed on a system, and it's not obvious what package the user should install. On top of that, the error message output by the script if it's missing isn't that helpful. So: this is a small change to warn the user if it is missing. I was as conservative as possible - not exiting with an error if "which" can't find revpath - because I don't fancy having lots of angry translators on my back because I broke something :-) Alex PS: I'm not on the kde-i18n list, so please CC me.
