I'm guessing that we can update the prebinding information in pkg_add or something. Alternately a periodic script can scan and update. I don't think its worth worrying about the exact details of future integration since the specifics of the work I've done so far are likely to change. I'm figuring out the detail of doing system wide prebinding on a per object basis (rather than per executable) with and without kernel assistance. This would drastically reduce the storage requirements for prebinding files. -- | Matthew N.
