That's roughly what I came up with this morning when I decided to try installing acroread on one of my XFCE boxes: 81 rebuilds one way, a handful over 200 the other. And I think it's at least the third time in the past few months I've looked up llvm to see what it is and why it's getting built -- I keep getting it confused with lvm. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
