We have already integrated the patches related to the manual and the code. What remains are those patches that apply to the Makefile(s). We will handle these together with the other changes that we want to make to the Makefile relating to reading compressed files using the zlib or bzip2 libraries.

I think you can leave Frédéric Mahé as the sole author of the documentation.
