Well, you have to consider library namespace pollution.. both KDE 1.x and KDE 2.x call their libraries libkdeui, libkdecore, [...]. Shell scripts can't fix that sort of thing easily.. although I suppose maybe you could override system search paths with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. > BTW, I liked your idea of XFree86 broken up into useful pieces.

I agree. However, other developers do not agree and feel that we should be forced to use the vendor's files as they are distributed (the distfiles). So you'd still have to download 30MB of distfiles just to build and install XFree86 libs/headers only. I'm going to pause on this subject because I'm interested in seeing what Satoshi and friends are up to. -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
