Terrific! When is this happening?.. I, for one, am rather tired of seeing mozilla-ports recompiling the same files -- and installing the same libraries -- over and over... And, worse, some pieces are installed /twice by each port/... Right now on my system, for example: /opt/lib/libxul/libxul.so /opt/lib/libxul/sdk/lib/libxul.so /opt/lib/firefox/libxul.so /opt/lib/firefox/sdk/lib/libxul.so /opt/lib/thunderbird/libxul.so /opt/lib/thunderbird/sdk/lib/libxul.so Yours, -mi
