I meant to wrangle this with upstream, but after spending non-negligable efforts with the hacking itself, I didn't have motivation left for this. <rant> So it's not only the authors of Debian tools holding on to a non-portable mindset. Maybe this is a downside of the advent of free unices. "Hey, I don't need to be compatible with your OS, it works wonderfully under My Free Unix. Why don't you just download MFU and install it, too?" I recognize the fact that portability is always a trade-off. I'd just like maintainers put their cards on the table. What I don't like is "kill(file) the messenger" attitude that attributes their portability problems/design decisions to the OSs that are not compatible with the assumptions. -- Robbe
