Looks good except the summary of the "Use _pkgconfig" commit should be changed to "Use _pkgdocdir".

Do you know what --with-backward-compatibility-hack does? Can we drop it?

This was introduced when the flavours were dropped. (You remember the flavour mess with libglobus_common_gcc32 vs. libglobus_common_gcc32pthr?). The dropping of the flavours meant a backward incompatibility. By introducing versioned symbols old binaries linked against the old library still worked with the new library.

Dropping --with-backward-compatibility-hack would remove some symbols from the globus-common library, which would mean that a soname bump would be necessary. We do not want to do that.
