+Ahh, I missed that. I think it was just before I subscribed to the list,\r

+\r
+Sure, it sounds more complete than what I have. You could also wait and\r
+see what feedback this thread gathers.\r
+\r
+On a different topic (and in response to Carl and your earlier\r
+discussion), as a counter-weight to the desire to avoid dependencies\r
+(which I agree with), I also think we should be careful about how many\r
+embedded copies of code there are, from the point of keeping up with\r
+security problems.  This is probably a bias I picked up from Debian.\r
