Well, it's been awhile since I dove into the E source....
Why protect cl00bies from themselves? This sounds frighteningly like
the M$ goal for WinNT/95/98. Is this GNOME's goal? JOOC....

Believe me, I'm all too aware of the nightmare of shared libraries
on the various systems. My comment about AIX stems from two things.
One, guess what the extension for shared libs is on AIX. ".a" Guess
what the static lib extension is. ".a" What dipshit was buttsnorkeling
himself coming up with *that* brilliant idea? And two, even if you
do build a shared library, they fail to work 99% of the time.
*cough* Perl *cough* So as a development platform, I hate AIX with
a passion. Give me Solaris and HP-UX any day.
