Agreed - what gets released to the public must be reproducable in some
well-defined way, and must not originate from someone's private
harddisk alone.

I beg to differ. You've been lucky here, because the Aqua port is no
official product yet. If it were, we'd never been able to integrate
aquavcl01 in its current state. Like the chart2 team did
milestone/preview builds from their CWS, we can (and should!) do as
well.

I wholeheartedly agree, and will stop debating this now. ;-)
