Sounds like a reasonable solution indeed. Way better than not having bin-prot on some archs (this is particularly annoying in Debian, where we support several big endian machines; the status quo would mean no Core on them and in turn no application using Core on them. Currently we patched Core on that architecture to remove the bin-prot dependency, but is a rather hackish solution I would like to get rid off). Do you plan to implement such a solution in forthcoming releases? Thanks, Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ............... now what?
