Yes, I suppose it's working on UN*X, but the things I checked in handled 
the generation and installation of the AUTHORS-SHORT file in win32 only,
so on UN*X this would show the file, except that the file would simply 
not exist.
This was because I don't know the UN*X build process well (and don't 
want to break things), and as it was experimental at that time. As Guy 
fixed the UN*X build environment to include this,
this is no longer the case, it should work on all platforms now (except 
the GTK1.2 versions, as Guy noted earlier).
BTW: Will the UN*X makefile *install* the AUTHORS-SHORT file? It has to 
be available at runtime, not at compiletime!

It's no help text and shouldn't be treated as such IMHO.
