It's fairly standard for upstreams to embed copies of libraries to ease installation from source - if upstream is clueful it'll only be a copy of the vanailla upstream and will only be used if a copy is not present on the system already. It's purely a tarball packaging thing and (bar licensing issues) there's little need to repack the upstream release for it. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
