One might ask why we're not using that.

We try to build binaries that are as free as possible from assumptions about how the filesystem structure is arranged for optional add-on software. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
