<p>I generally agree, Josh, but I think readline is getting pointed at a bit too much. Yeah, it's a bad one, but we
alsoinclude other stuff like zlib that doesn't commonly come up as an issue.<p>I'd argue something just a wee bit
different...<p>Bythe time we would add in:<p>- autoconf rules to detect it,<br /> - makefile rules to link it in<br />
-include file changes<br /> - wrappers to ensure use of pmalloc<br /> - Debian guys add build dependancies<br /> - rpm
dependenciesget added<br /> - BSD ports dependencies<p>That is likely rather more code than 1 not terribly large file
ofC needed to do it ourselves. And this code is rather worse, as it is in a bunch of languages, spread all over.<p>If
wewere gaining a lot of extra functionality "for free" it would be one thing. That is true for libssl, and likely
zlib,but not here.
