We should at least fix trivial failures (mostly plist=20 fixes) that would otherwise keep things like qt and gtk from building. But= =20 yes, once we're at the stage that some (mostly leaf) ports fail because of= =20 library differences and such then yes, we should go and merge the thing=20 (possibly with short freeze and definitely with large headsups). I don't=20 think it will take much longer until we get there. Dejan
