So therefore webkit-gtk decides to be a prissy little cunt and throws an error because it didn't have an optimization flag set, who the hell do those developers think they are? If you think you should have an optimization flag  SET IT!!! Just provide an override, throwing an error just because the user was lazy in compiling it is not acceptable. =| -- Please report bounces from this address to atg@numentics.com Powers are not rights.
