One thing I forgot to say: In order to implement this in Fink, we'd need to release 0.13.1 with my changes, and also add a BuildDepends on 6 things to every existing Fink package. (This can be done with a script.) The addition would be:
BuildDepends: bzip2-dev, gettext, gettext-bin, libiconv, libiconv-bin, ncurses-dev Package maintainers could then remove these when not needed, and also update their Depends lines to include Essential packages where appropriate. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
