Hey Martin,
The mirroring of downloads was one of a handful of outstanding issues. Thankfully that piece seems to be cleared up. There are some issues that Tav was working on (grids, guides, 3d boxes) which could probably be better elaborated on by him. So realistically, 0.91pre3 should not be the last pre-release... we should push a pre4 with Tav's changes and any other necessary backports. It's so close, but we need to provide a decent bridge between the past releases and trunk while minimally breaking files.
Cheers, Josh

Speaking from the MacPorts point of view, it would be really helpful if autogen.sh could be added to the distributable files in forthcoming releases.
Due to no fault with Inkscape at all, our support for multiple perl versions requires that ports that depend on intltool be reconfigured with a custom version of intltool.m4.
Normally, just using autoreconf is sufficient to handle the issue but there is enough special handling going on in autogen.sh that it really needs to be used instead.
We can download it separately if necessary but having it as part of the distribution would remove the requirement to be on the lookout for changes.
Perhaps there are others that would find it useful as well.
Thanks for any help. Let me know if I need to file a ticket for this.
