Indeed, and I never said it had (except as an example of a situation where you have multiple clients with different release schedules). >> >> I guess this is theoretically possible.

As I said, I don't have a build environment, don't have all the necessary dependencies, don't want to spend time figuring this out etc ... I'm looking for a binary distribution which I can just drop in my home directory and that will just work. But nobody seems to distribute all-static binaries for Solaris ... it's not the unix way, I guess. Anyway, this is probably digressing too much into a discussion of platforms and OS'es, things that we have no control over anyway ... -- Johan
