- Don't hold your breath...it's going to be at LEAST another week, I'm
- really far behind with patches, and really busy with other stuff.
- Sorry :-(

- I'd prefer not to distribute binaries with the library, except in
- cases where it may be needed to bootstrap the source code. Why not
- make your shell available on the archive, if you haven't already done
- so?
-
- I'd really like to see the behavior of system() be user-configurable
- (e.g. let the user choose whether /bin/sh or the current fakery should
- be used). I'm open to suggestions as to which should be the default.

- cheers,
