My only problem with this is you're mixing what we define as our users. There are two types implied in this: developers who can run the compiler and apply patches, and end users who just want binaries to plop in and go. I agree that it is too much to ask an end user to fool around with libtool and patches, but it is not at all unresonable to expect someone who is comfortable enough to run their compiler to apply a patch first. If you can RTFM and then run the compiler, you can probably apply a patch. -aaron
