I think the solution would be to allow PECL to optionally fetch the libraries an extension depends on, quite like FreeBSD ports. It is exactly as much work as bundling them altogether, of course, but at least we avoid the impact on our distribution size. mk -- Marko Karppinen - http://homepage.mac.com/marko/ -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
