some little status info on that.
The last days I worked on the "new" Config.in and the directfb.mk
Makefile with your suggestions. Until now I would say the most options
are implemented and I can also build the most of them.
But I found some issues inside the directfb archive (missing headers :)
and some code errors). I found one patch to fix the code errors and cook
one other to fix a configure problem, but the missing headers are just
to fix if the package would switch to a git checkout.

I wrote up to upstream to fix the header and the code error. I will wait
for response and in the between time I will more clean up my current
work. Some of the new options have new dependencies like libsvg-cairo,
linotyp, mng or jasper for jpeg2000. The libsvg-cairo package I will try
to implement if I find some free time for it, the other dependencies
have to find some other person. ;)

Regards
Carsten
