If someone makes a change that is unexplained or unjustified, bring it up on -devl. Remember that you can always remove the change and rebuild the program yourself. Note that none of the other developers are bound by any "contractual obligations" which may exist between Intel and anyone else. -- Benjamin Coates _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
