Of course this could be otherwise solved with some comments in the libungif.README... but usually I prefer a "self documenting process" that a "obscure process plus oducmentation". I see the need to hame 3 packages installed minor ni respect of the uncleariness of having a gigantic patch.
But that's me, and if everybody else thinks the other way is better I have no problems in doing ni the gigantic-patch mode. -- Lapo 'Raist' Luchini [EMAIL PROTECTED] (PGP & X.509 keys available) http://www.lapo.it (ICQ UIN: 529796)
