However, it hasn't been needed in the last several snapshot's, until 1019 (or possibly 1012, as I skipped that one). Linux is not the system I'm attempting to compile this on, and any assumption of a flavor of OS is not the Right Thing(tm). Also, inclusion of any and all necessary files, apps, tools, lib's, etc. for compilation on the Web site would be _extremely_ useful. I've looked and could find ref. only to the testsuite tools needed.
