it would be nice to have union wait gone. can you run a pkgsrc bulk build (or get someone to)? i know of code in the past used to only try to use 'union wait' on particular systems, and BSD ones always counted as possible, so i'm not sure that it's a valid claim to say other systems have forced cleanups in 3rd party code. thanks. .mrg.
