I would happily accept patches (if they work and don't break things! :-) ). It's so long ago that I looked at the build code (packaudit) so I can't recall how ugly that is. I just remember portaudit's embedded awk in sh makes me want to run away :-). Portaudit and packaudit haven't really been touched in any significant way since eik@ left the project. - Simon L. B.
