Sam, I think you and I have had this debate before, but are the space savings really worth it? It's one thing to add code to our distribution of someone else's library -- forking to make our build system easier isn't pleasant, but I can totally understand why the expat maintainer wouldn't be interested in that patch. However, I really don't like the idea of distributing a fork which *deletes* working code from someone else's library. Imagine the poor hacker out there who: - wants to use expat for something else, - knows she's already got a copy from us, and - eventually figures out that part of it is missing. Ick. You explain it to her. I don't want to. Paul, the grumpy one
