Thank you, this is what I was searching! As for reviewing the
libraries, I don't know if I am knowledgeable enough for the task - I
have much to read about package building - but I'll give it a try as
soon as possible.

BTW, I've managed to successfully run MIPAV from the 'official'
installer - a temporary solution, but for now it works.

Sorry for this mistake. I need to get some sleep...

Didn't know about this. Nice.

Thank you for now Yaroslav, if I come up with something I'll let you know :)
