OS X distribution close to completion

Hi all,

I now have a 3.0.19 OS X distribution built that, by rights, should work on Leopard upwards and on all three architectures (PPC, i386 & x86_64). It has so far been tested on Snow Leopard 64 bit and 32 bit, and on Lion 64 bit.

Before I make it generally available I have one more issue to resolve. One tester pointed out that I am using the statically-linked PCRE that's part of the Privoxy source code. I'm aware that it's de rigeur to dynamically link to a more recent version. I've downloaded the PCRE project, but (and please excuse my ignorance) I have a few questions:

- if I build and install this in the default manner, will Privoxy's configure automatically choose to link to it rather than the built-in version?
- am I free to bundle the PCRE binary I build with my distribution?
- crunch question - if I make a multi-architecture ('Universal' in Macintosh parlance) PCRE binary, will my multi-architecture privoxy binary link to the correct architecture at runtime?

Thanks in advance for answers to what I'm sure are quite foolish questions,

Ian
