In CVS head you mean of course, not in 4.3.0 or earlier. Just wanted to clarify that. Another caveat however, is that when distributions start upgrading to 4.4.0, many apps compiled on 4.4.0 will get linked dynamically instead of statically, and will not run on systems that have 4.3.0 installed. A necessary pain of course that can't really be avoided however, but it's going to be a fun time with bug reports. ;o) -- Mike A.
