[Scribus] a few small suggestions and questions

[Subash Jeyan]

hi,

while i am aware that much effort has gone into scribus' colour
management and pdf capabilities, it'd be nice to have these small (?)
capabilities:

1) line border for text boxes

2) the possibility of having 0.0 mm line width for rectangles and ovals.
right now, 0.1 mm is the lowest possible width

3) having drop caps in the measurements menu along with bold,
italics etc. which can be defined in the
edit>preferences>general>typographics

4) defining column numbers and gutter width in the modify text frame
menu.

these are just suggestions and before somebody jumps in saying "do them
yourself", let me say i'm not a programmer and i fully appreciate what
franz the developer has done. 

a few questions:

1) is 0.9.8pre available for public download? 

2) has anyone managed to get the lcms profilers working on a mdk 9
system? i understand it has to do with setting the qt lib paths in the
makefiles, but i haven't been able to do it and i'd appreciate help if
anyone has done it.

regards, subash.
