... as I see it, there are two main obstacles to the adoption of third 
party libs/tool in Rebol

1) I guess, in all those languages using a third party lib doesn't 
increase the number of files to be installed in any significant way, 
whereas in Rebol - in the simplest case - it's an increase by 33% (of my 
maths serve me well) (Rebol executable, your script, AND the third party 
lib ... ;-)

2) Where? Or in other words, a central repositry where you'll be sure to 
find everything is still missing in the mindset of most Rebolers, though I 
hope rebol.org will get there.


Kind regards,

Ingo
