It's a lot of work to make sure you don't pick up the system installed components accidently. I would call the contortions that Mozilla goes through to get an alternate OpenSSL "Heroic measures". Just because waving a dead chicken fixes something, doesn't mean we all want to have to add dead chickens to our toolboxes. Asking every software vendor out there to perform the same contortions so that their applications aren't FreeBSD-specific after they're written is unacceptable. > I'm sorry, but I have to write you off now; I've wasted enough time > already and I regret it. I'm sorry to have threatened your sacred cow, but it's really a problem when it stomps all over my garden. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
