Yes I do want to make OpenAL and SndFile a hard dependency for KGoldrunner.
Tomorrow is the last day to decide for Granatier.  Did you see my last reply?

I am poised, ready to commit (first thing Thursday) a version of
kgoldrunner/CMakeLists.txt that has the line:
    find_package(OpenAL REQUIRED)
instead of:
    macro_optional_find_package(OpenAL QUIET)

I am not sure if this is the correct way to do it.  OpenAL *still* lists as an
optional external package during the kdegames build.  But at least,
KGoldrunner fails to build if OpenAL is not found.  Will the Release Team
pick up on that?  Or should I warn them?

Living in Australia, I have several hours' start on this :-)
My 23:59 is UTC's 13:59 ... :-) ...  10 hours ...

Mathias, that should give you time to see this email before I
commit on Thursday morning (Aust time) and say whether
Granatier will also declare a hard dependency on OpenAL.

All the best, Ian W.
