You'll probably have to admit, even yourself, that your reasoning above is sort of thin ... it's "horrible". Huh. You're asking for a lot of work, like I said. I might be wearing out my welcome, but could you give me a word or two, exactly why is it so horrible an idea, as long as I am careful in how I export software buit in such an environment? I might be asking for a lot. If so, the nice work on gnome is appreciated, bud. Quite a lot, I hope you realize. You folks have my permission to spend a minute or three patting yourself on the back.
