Thanks Mike,

Just to make things completely confusing...

webconf.lrp is a bunch of shell scripts plus 2 programs compiled for 
bering-uclibc.  So there /is/ a dependency there.  However, there are plugins 
(lwp's) that contain /just/ the 2 binaries.  (E.g. Erich Titl's wc207.lwp.  
It makes webconf.lrp work on his glibc 2.0.7 system.) The plugins overwrite 
the library specific binaries so that the same shell scripts (in webconf.lrp) 
can be used with any library.

Soo... 

1. Does webconf.lrp go in nolibc, and the library specific plugins (wc207.lwp) 
go in the appropriate directories?  

2. Does webconf.lrp and all of the libary specific plugins (wc207.lwp) go in 
nolibc, since the major part of webconf.lrp is "nolibc", and the plugins are 
expected to go with it?    (I would lean toward this, personally, but it does 
violate "nolibc" by definition.)

3. REMOVE the uclibc binaries from webconf.lrp and make EVERYONE choose a 
library specific plugin?  (Probably architecturally correct, but it will be a 
mess trying to support - "I downloaded webconf.lrp and it doesn't work... You 
have to download your appropriate plugin.  ... Which one? there are lots of 
files in the plugin directory... etc."

4. Leave webconf where it is and wait until the move to FRS Sandbox?

5. Other?

This problem /could/ happen with other plugins - Typically a plugin will just 
be shell code (nolibc), but there's nothing to prevent someone from including 
a binary in the plugin.
