Wel, keeping it anywhere *else* is just going to make the problem even worse. So the options are to either fix it, or to throw it out completely. I'm not against throwing it out completely - as you say, nobody seems to have touched it in ages and ages. If we *do* want to keep it, we should make it part of the main build so that we detect breakage *right away* and not years later - much easier to fix that way. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
