My current desire is to make life for the FOX users a bit less painfull with a four-line patch (likely a bit larger when I add more builtins and "shcomp" usage) - that's all. > It is obsolete, > deprecated, and included only for the benefit of people working on > software that has unfortunately already incorporated it.

Please go to xorg at lists.freedesktop.org and try to explain _that_ to Daniel Stone <daniel at fooishbar.org>. And then better duck for cover... Keith: If you're able to convince Daniel&&X.org to stop using libtool or libtool clones like "dolt" and get him to admit that libtool is horrible then I'll make you one of my famous apple cakes, delivered _warm_ to your MPK office (do the MPK buildings have a kitchen and an oven ?).
