I know this, but it is a different thing to sometimes have a prosa text that explains what has been done from having the build environment. It would also help to be able to load things in a simpler way that does not count against the life time of the mouse buttons.... Let me make an example that comes into my mind because I recently did receive a list of mkisofs problems from Sun: If Sun compiles mkisofs the wrong way (not large file aware) and does not dosument this, how does it help if people may load the unmodified sources from http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/?
