(if someone needs that level of customisation, like for an embedded system, they should be building from source anyway.) --acpmQqLhu/6roLcc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGzBAABCAAdFiEEuwt6MaPcv/+Mo+ftDHqbqZ41x5kFAmYezJYACgkQDHqbqZ41 x5kdPAv/ePI8nXoEi36836ZF3IpvmAeVJ8iZ5+PfR5gJHn2vQ+3nXooq5KrdeB5N yEZ/BKczw0B+qN+uLUbOKWabUzetBMV787MEw4n56hJcMonhxIm5v5risdPWak8U 4g2+TPcpbhRZ8Wsz05Lq/SNlMrZ8YphgByuu1xBqaP22OAlPEjO9XbLW0aumrMrs 8zpxTPdJKhrx2AfmS7SzdgnJ22OYBqnBV9bqGhKsA4ZIV9bbwBqYyAxNruFwMS3J ExJvfNtwkg3uD/J5BZllBOGVFleNO/y/D6sWzi8h0V6Os+F5qBLS1aGzokcCIrjz WFGUdDz0VvUBc+kuOuIjAnCKJriNT95FfaHSMvMy+G3MLBTV9rOvMiTE25D9tgZ1 boUUh7ftRNERzwb0sxrghq9yD3xCP1KFFuFl59br/rBn4+m9ORoP+j4XLRqb1jxw 8RHyzaS/i2xHLAQ+p1d5tjCcTUzv5n2BgZSpXGr7wbR2he3/ItMf3lWv6W1GqwMk pbRlu4cf =9di6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --acpmQqLhu/6roLcc--
