That is good news and would be a great contribution to the  
transparency of the project. I will allow people to easily build  
customized versions of X2Go Client suitable for company deployment.

@Alex: will you get in contact with Michael? Otherwise, I would take  
over and teach myself how to build x2goclient and write that down in  
our wiki.

Greets,
Mike
