Description

Noweb does not compile any more with modern gcc systems, somewhere around 4.6.x. What shall we do about that... Include it? Or just trust, that it will be maintained? At some point we have to think about that...

There's also the annoying issue that noweb-mode does strange things with modern Emacs installations - the X window shrinks slightly with every mode change. Thorsten?

Ok, at least for Ubuntu and MAC (MACPorts) there are installable packages, meaning that this package is still under maintenance from the OSs though there is no development any more.

The issue with the noweb emacs mode is just some ressources that are spared as the highlightening (incl. pretty formatting) is done only for the active part of the Emacs window. Maybe there is a way to switch that off...

Anyhow, closing the ticket. (Next time, I will use the pre-compiled packages. BTW, nowadays there is also a package for valgrind on MAC OS X)
