I obviously did. And the change worked quite nicely. The new pidgin 
plugin works and allows me -- and all other FreeBSD users building from 
source -- to access their WhatsApp account from their desktops.

I didn't use poudrierre, because I find it a pain to use and not worth 
the trouble for a new port. Because, as I said already, if it fails to 
build, no one is any worse off, than if it didn't exist at all.

And here the truth comes out. Mathieu Arnold believes himself to be a 
MANAGER of mine -- and, presumably, that of all the other ports-committers.

And not just any manager, but a manager empowered to invent rules on the 
fly -- and demand the mortal underlings obey him or else...

You certainly did betray these dictatorial attitudes "at one point or 
another along the years", but it hasn't been quite so explicit until now.

I intend to blacklist your e-mails from now on. If you want to make good 
on your threat to make me "go work somewhere else" -- bring it up to core@

Or, maybe, I should bring up your toxic bullying. Khmm...

Anyway. *Plonk*
