There is nothing i would like more than for all of us involved in this
to finally agree on a set of standards, and follow them. That means
*all* of us. I have asked this very exact question 6 months ago, on
this forum.

What was the response ? Does anyone remember ? If my recollections are
correct, of all the parties of whom the question was asked, only two
answered. one of them was OpenSolaris (a.k.a. Glen), the other one was
solaris.kde.org. (a.k.a. yours truly).

Blastwave chose to stay silent.

To me, the most important bits are these:

1) compiled for the OS build I want to run on to avoid duplicate libs.
2) compiled with modern CPU support (eg SSE2, SSE3, etc).
3) compiled with all X extensions that OS revs supports
4) Source packages (as compiled) and build infrastructure available
   so that binary bits can be replicated.
