There are several issues but all must be temporary and a priori not related 
directly to address@hidden 
I hope I could overcome this very soon. If I cannot, perhaps I will resign me 
to open a gmail or other similar account.

This was perhaps more a personal need, I just would to print some of the 
documentation and cannot generate it because I did not have all necesary 
dependencies (I *did* have OCaml but not gz library)  to build the server (and 
no Internet access).
Moreover I think that limitating the dependencies to the minimum is generally a 
good idea but I agree that my idea was a bit drastical.

I hope I should produce more usefull patchs later if I can finally install all 
the dependencies.

Indeed this is just a great idea I should have had before.
