Hi All,

There is a pending item on my TODO list to move
hbzlib and hbpcre sources under /external tree.

At the same time the detection of externally available
versions could also be added, and possibility to override
them with usual HB_INC_* vars also. It's probably healthier
to use these on *nix systems anyway.

The other benefit would be that we'd hold all 3rd
party code in one easy to identify spot, which makes
them easier to manage (update/config/strip/distribute).

One consequence is that they'd have to be renamed
to their original lib names (dropping 'hb' prefix).
Plus some additional hbmk[2] tricks will be required.

Is there any reason this move cannot or shouldn't be
made? Or some issues to be aware of?

Brgds,
Viktor
