I try to determine how this influences the ports collection...
Do we have to include the prebinding information in a package or can we
omit them (I assume: we can omit them but it would be beneficial)?
If we have to include it: What happens if: A library on the build system
contains symbol "foo", a program in package "bar" is linked against this
lib, but doesn't references "foo". This package is now installed
together with the prebinding information from the build system on a
system where an older version of the library without the "foo" symbol is
installed.
Bye,
Alexander.
