However, we should 1st do this from ports tree in a experimental fashion. The ports tree is a great way to have the tools available without going through a "does not belong in base" discussion. Then, we can go through the "belongs in base" discussion with a proof of concept in hands. By the way, I am one of those "trim base" campers but I am also for advancing technology. :) Mesmerize us. -- Mario S F Ferreira - DF - Brazil - "I guess this is a signature."
