Gilles,

you put some effords to prepare the inclusion of libraw 0.12 for kde 4.7 in 
libkdcraw on gsoc-branch. But there are some pitfalls I think:

First the library does not build through missing amaze_demosaic_RT.cc from 
demosaic-pack-GPL3 folder. A think only a missing checkin, so not the big 
thing?

The main problem is about ABI-compability. You extend decoding structures to 
fetch new libraw parameters. But here comes the scenario: If someone build 
digikam 1.6 and link it against libkdcraw from KDE 4.6 and then upgrade to KDE 
4.7 the application will crash I think. Ugly, but the right way will be a 
duplicate of the structure and the calling method. Am I right? Marcel, what do 
you think?

Regards, Jens
