No, they are not good. The problem is that your version of the XPM
library doesn't allow absolute path names to be used which breaks the
gimp XPM plug-in. The fact that other tools work doesn't prove that
your verson of libxpm is 'good'.

F-prot is on crack and the F-prot people have been told about this a

good light on them.
