[aur-general] Feedback for rmlint-git and call for a TU

[christopher at ira-kunststoffe.de]

Hello Massimiliano,

To 1) Indeed only `libelf` might be needed for detecting non-stripped 
binaries.
          It is an optional dependency and if it's not installed, it 
won't be build with it.
          I was not aware that libelf is packaged as separate package.
          Here is the relevant code btw:
          
https://github.com/sahib/rmlint/blob/master/lib/utilities.c#L182
To 2) Indeed, gettext can be likely moved to build deps then.
To 3) The gui can be found in the develop branch, it's not yet in 
master:
          https://github.com/sahib/rmlint/tree/develop/gui
          It will be included in the next release which will be 
probably somewhen this month.
          More information here: 
http://rmlint.readthedocs.org/en/latest/gui.html

Regards,
Christopher
