Wasn't the problem that cppi isn't universaly available ? If that's
the case the status quo while a bit more painful for those whove have
it, avoid a dependance needed to build and submit patches.
Good point - while things like xmllint are available pre-built for RHEL
5, cppi and pdwtags are not, not even through EPEL. You've convinced me
- keep cppi and pdwtags optional for now, until they are available as
pre-built packages on all the major all Linux development platforms
supported at the time.
