Yes l-)
FYI, I'm currently working on an ELF build of svgalib and the
(non-free) gopher packages. The former I hope to get some work done
on this weekend (but then I hoped to get some done last weekend
too...) Svgalib is (one of) the last remaining shared library
packages which has to be converted to ELF.
The gopher packages will take a little longer, since I'm upgrading
them to the latest version of the gopher software, and also because
svgalib is more important l-)
