Bug#795179: gnugk compiled without H.460 support

[Jan Willamowius]

Hi,

for H.460 support in GnuGk (which includes about a dozen
sub-standards), the H323Plus package must be compiled with H.460
support which should be on by default (unless disabled with
--disable-h460 in the H323Plus ./configure run). It seems to be
off in your compile run.

Once H.460 is enabled in H323Plus, GnuGk's H.460 features will
automatically be enabled. Only H.460.18 must be enabled explicitly
using --enable-h46018 when compiling GnuGk.

But please note that H.460.18 is covered by a patent held by Tandberg
and now Cisco. I do have a license for this patent for my 'official'
GnuGk releases, but it probably takes a lawyer to decide if that
license also applies to executables compiled by Debian.

H.460.23/.24 is also covered by a patent, but the GnuGk Project has
obtained a license that explicitly transfers to others compiling GnuGk.
All other H.460 features are not patent encumbered as far as I know.

Regards,
Jan
