[Fink-devel] GNU getopt: use Fink's or package's own?

2003-01-20 Thread Daniel Macks
I've noticed some program sources that make use of the GNU getopt library include that library source in their tarball, and then compile and static-link it into the binary (and some have a flag that controls whether to use it or expect that this library already exists in -L somewhere). Fink has a l
