Hi Robert,

Yes.  I plan on building a binary release for both x86 9 (5.9) and
10.

I understand completely.  You know, however, that binaries are a moving
target especially in the Linux world.  Binaries I built on FC4 systems
do not work (due to a missing shared library) on FC6 systems.  Because
of this I will likely be forced to build static binaries.  Even then
there is a chance that they will not work as well as ones built on
the target system.

> Thanks,

No worries.  Have a nice Sunday!

Cheers,

Tom
