(But I don't mind your questions.) I see that the .h files are installed as well as sparse.pc. I've the intention to remove them from the install rule in my tree because using some .h files are missing since 2013 and I don't think anybody use it, only the executables are used. But I'm also fine to keep it if there is some objections. Best regards, -- Luc
