I don't think it would be good to drop it because popt is only installed by default on Linux and cygwin (at least of the types I build) and would make for more trouble for people on all other platforms. I haven't run across hardly any other packages that use it, either, otherwise it would be worthwhile to install popt as a package on its own on all the platforms I support. - Dave -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
