You should first define the version number in a way that is compatible
with forms.h. 1.1cvs does not cut it. What about using numbers
starting from 1.0.90 like xfree (or 1.0.50 if you expect lots of
prereleases) for prereleases of 1.1.0? Then it should be easy to
generate AAA.h from a AAA.h.in at configure time.

I did not know that local.h existed...

We use '-Wall -W' now, I think -Wall may be more adapted to C. With
gcc, we may want to try -ansi and/or pedantic.

These are the demos which need xpm files or demo.c which needs the
demo.menu file. I do not know what to do about that, maybe create
symbolic links...
