Sorry, I did not want to sound disrespectful towards anyone. I was
just someone who wanted to use your package in a project of mine but
was discouraged by the number and the nature of the needed
dependencies. 

Please forget my patch and accept my apologies.

BTW: if someone can point me towards a tool that will take care of
installing all needed dependencies, keeping my tool chain updated and
not messing up my file system in the long run (say 2 to 4 years: I'm
using a quite clean slackware gnu/linux distribution installed in 2003
and regularly updated) I'd really appreciate.
