That's all! :-) Proposal 2: I am gonna get flamed badly for this, I know :-( can't we check uuencoded compat libs into the repository? _OR_ have a libcompat spot where these are accumulated? Hmm (thinks) how about making a port out of these like the linuxcompat things, except loading them into /usr/lib? This way we could use the ports mechanism to keep them up to date.
