Ok, makes sense.

Hmm. So I should not be building them either then I presume?
The DPS stuff builds when I build X, and grepping through
config/cf I find "BuildDPS" defined only in cygwin.cf, and
"BuildDps" defined in sequent.cf. It appears that DPS is enabled
by default everywhere.
I can only think I'm misinterpreting something, or not setting
something right. Can you clarify this for me, wether it should
be enabled or not, and if not, how to disable building DPS
completley. Right now it looks like "BuildDPS" is not honoured
at all on Linux builds.

Is this a bug?
If I'm reading that correctly, "BuildDPSLibraries" sets the
default for all of the various libraries, and it is set to YES if
BuildServersOnly is set to NO, which appears to be the reason the
libraries are building. Are these libraries useful for anything
if the extension isn't built? What directives control the
enable/disable of the extension?
Again, any help is very much appreciated! I'm trying to trim the
fat so to speak, and only package up the stuff that is officially
supported and useable.
Thanks,
TTYL
