We use this here as a basis for creating embedded parsers for cross-development. IMHO, just because something exists in /usr/src this should not preclude its existence in ports too. One might wish to pass extra configuration options, etc to the build of a ports version. As the port's maintainer, I would've appreciated a poll on it too :-( -- Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
