Avoid non-portable == for the test command The test command doesn't accept `==` as operator. It should be a single `=` for portable use. The `==` is a gnu extension. Note that the x-trick hasn't been needed for a long, long time. You can reliably write it with quotes: ``` if test "$gtk3" = yes; then ``` but I left that alone since it doesn't hurt other than being ugly.

A brief overview for those that wish to work with the source.

The Makefiles and configure script are generated by the autogen.sh script,
usually only distributed with snapshot releases. Running autogen.sh requires
automake and autoconf. GNU gettext may also be needed by autogen.sh.

Git commits _require_ an explicit log message. Think it will be used in the
release Changelog.

Coders should respect general coding style (see CODING).

Coders, please resync po/POTFILES.in if you add or remove source files from src/
directory (using regen_potfiles.sh script in po/) and re-run make update-po when
appropriate to keep translations in sync with the code.

Maintainers, don't forget to run make update-po before releases.

Translators, please have a look at po/README.
