Well, that's a good enough reason not to put it in our binaries. I say we
continue to ship w/out, and those needing it can build their own.

Well, I was about to respond with an emphatic no, when I realized that we have
multiple binaries for Linux, Solaris and HP-UX, to name a few. However, those
vary by OS versions, not features. The analogy would be if we had windows
binaries for 98, 2k, XP, etc.

I think the bottom line will be if you want to spend the time to build them and
support them, then go for it. If nothing else, you could build them and we
could put them in the 'unsupported' directory on the web site.

Any other core devs care to chip in their 2 cents?

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
