Of course it doesn't. But you should consider Apple to be a big, fat, slow-moving commercial platform vendor, which it is. If I had a one-line patch that would solve compile bustage on Windows, for example, I would be more inclined to apply it than to wait for Microsoft to fix their operating system. In that case, I'd consider the Windows-based users more important than bashing Windows -- even though I, as you know, also enjoy Windows-bashing very much. So, here's my suggestion: 1. I'll add BIND_8_COMPAT to the darwin-specific part of configure.in, so its nature as a darwin hack is clear to everyone. 2. In exchange for introducing this APPLE-SPECIFIC SHIT, I'll remove some non-needed Darwin crud from ext/standard/dns.c. Measured in lines of code, the amount of Apple-specific shit will actually decrease in the codebase. And you'd have to be happy about that :) mk
