Anything of the 3.5 lineage is fine, just not the older ones, the current is 3.4.x for both Blastwave and Sun Companion which is really what bothers me. If I have to build it, fine, I'd prefer not to given its size, as it generally takes as long as 8 hours to build on my Ultra 20 M2 running FreeBSD or Linux. But anyways, I'll take a look either way. Btw, my e-mail expires so I'll be coming from gmail.com for now once I resubscribe to the lists.
