And it's a shame people still fork it, like with Midnight
Commander MP. I was going to try it but was surprised by the
following on http://mc.linuxinside.com/ :

"there is no possibilities to compile it without some X parts,
like Glib."

Not to mention the third paragraph makes you wonder if the
developers (mainly Pavel) are the worse :-)

Well, a nice feature I miss is the MultiScreen support from
Walery, which seems to be in MP. Others from Arpi were nice
too.

Anyway, if I was a programmer I'd contribute to HEAD, not fork
and have my ideas used by a few people.
