Thus far everything in the sourcetree is a library or application on which other applications base their workings or to offer the users tools they need to get their work done. And importing either TCL and/or Turbovision seems rather silly in my opinion. I think people are forgetting that not everything needs to be squeezed in src/* to be part of the Project's development effort. You don't see doc under src do you? What's stopping a new gui or whatever you want to call it to be placed under /usr/installer [to name but an example]? -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|freebsd.org|xmach.org] Documentation nutter/C-rated Coder, finger asmodai@ninth-circle.dnsalias.net http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/ A frightened mental vortex we will be, a Sun we seek, a Sun we flee...
