Full distribution process:
--------------------------
Qucs is currently split into two packages, i.e. qucs (the GUI) and
qucs-core (the backend command line simulator). In order to
distribute a complete package you need to run the distribution process
as described in both the RELEASE files up to the point where you have
the tarballs created using `make distcheck'.

- Autoconf version 2.57 (at least)
- GNU automake 1.7.0 (at least)
- flex 2.5.31 (but at least 2.5.9)
- GNU Bison 2.6+
- Qt installation >= version 4.6 (by Digia)
* Unpack the packages in a temporary directory.
- mkdir /temporary-dir and cd /temporary-dir
- tar xvzf qucs-<version>.tar.gz first and then `cd qucs-<version>'
- tar xvzf qucs-core-<version>.tar.gz and `mv qucs-core-<version> qucs-core'
* Slightly modify and rebuild package.
- Modify the lines marked with "release specific" in the `configure.ac'
file.
- Run `sh bootstrap' first in the qucs-core directory and then in main
directory.
- Run `make all' and finally `make distcheck'.
* Distribute the package.
- Upload the package to the SourceForge server and add a News item.
- Announce the release at Freshmeat.
