Yes, we should think about it ;-) > The reason I ask is that, after many years of quiescence (no updates > since 6b in March 1998) there seems to have been a flurry of activity, > pushing out a v7 last year and then a v8.

Where did you get this information from? I looked through the dist. files and didn't find anything about this in the included changelog file. Do you have other sources, or did you look at the docs or...? > Thoughts? I don't know. If we upgrade our bundled lib and use functions that are available in v8x, then a user who configures to use the system libs may get problems, unless we add more feature test macros to autoconf and use this in our code. OTOH, if we could provide some features like those you mentioned, this would probably be good. Maybe we should wait some time until v8 is more in use in Linux distributions and elsewhere.
