Understood, but I was thinking about the masses of OSX machines out
there not running on programmer's desks, so they haven't installed the
dev package. The same is true for Solaris (most definitely a Unix
flavor!), since most of those machines have nothing but the cruddy
little /usr/ccs/cc compiler or nothing at all. I asked the question
because I'm wondering if Daniel Harple is thinking about the issues he
may face with distributing his new application widely, or if he's just
uncomfortable with extensions per se.
