You are also loosing all control of a required piece of equipment, this has got to make some of you at least cringe a little.

Bill,

The latter in your statement, distribute the most modern transmission 
that the user can ignore or if they wish or swap out with something they 
prefer.

Basically it's easy. If it must be there to build the darn thing, pass 
GO and collect the $$$, then it should be there. If not, then it becomes 
an option and that is left up to the user/builder ergo openssl zlib and 
lua.

so +1 to including pcre in -deps (or srclib/pcre), basically as it is 
now in the other branches.

In reality I probably shouldn't say anything anymore as I adapted and 
overcame, begrudgingly. It sure was a sore subject back between 2.3.1 
and 2.3.2 and I guess it just held on and I could not resist making noise.

Sorry this got into the wrong thread, I blame my webmail :)
