If there is one thing I have learned in developing software since 1965 
(not a typo), it is to never depend on /any /third-party application 
being present. If it is not part of the base system install, it probably 
won't be there. I've even met Unix systems without /make/. Requiring the 
user to use some flag or other seldom flies and results in many 
nastygrams and late-night phone calls. If you need it, include it.

I pass on this group of scars on my butt for what it's worth and declare 
the topic closed.
