I agree with Bruce; I'd put more emphasis behind importing a later libdialog than rewriting libdialog from scratch in BSDL. Given that almost zero people have developed or bugfixed libdialog, unless someone is willing to maintain it for the next 20 or so years, I'd just fallback to a secondary source. Thanks, -Garrett
