Sorry, the file that made problems works again now. I do not understand...

Well, for $Log$ I can understand. For $Id$ (and $Header$) I am less sure.

I often make copies of the files I am working on. The advantage of having 
$Header$ in the file is that even months later, you know which revision it is 
based on. Without $Id$ and $Header$ you need to copy also the CVS 
sub-directory to have this information.

Of course, I can understand that CVS keywords are not wanted in public 
headers, as it would force the person who is commiting to re-compile many 
files.

Sorry, I misread the sentence.

However in this case, KOffice does not follow this point. It assumes flex, 
bison and python. (Of course, you build KOffice compile without python.)

Have a nice day!
