Damn straight. Commit already :)
Like Justin, I think it is goodness to have a configure option like
--static-httpd. Obviously such a thought has no bearing on the patch
you posted.
I have the *feeling* that it is not good for binbuild.sh to use such
an option (--static-httpd) but I don't have a technical argument
behind that.
Do we all violently agree?
