I suppose at some point we will have to lose the "no external dependencies other than X" slogan. :) Already 0.70 depends on XFT (although it's optional, granted) and now seemingly on iconv. I suspect libxml2 may make its entrance sometime in the future, or fontconfig, or something else required by FDO standards integration. -- Ciprian Popovici -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
