Would 'other' be Rob? I know Liz doesn't. I don't. Derick doesn't. Andi 
doesn't. Stas doesn't. Who did I miss? The thing is, we've been here 
before - the whole point of starting over was to get away from relying on a 
single person and a single box. If you get hit by a bus tomorrow, how do we 
reproduce your work?

I wasn't being angry. Nor was I attacking.

This isn't actually true.

Right, so "always" is quite recent in fact. Like, within the last year or 
so.

*sigh*

No, Pierre. I wrote to a total stranger and CC'd the list. The VC6 build is 
in fact broken. I've no clue what you have on the snaps box, but it doesn't 
have much in common with VC6 as we know it. It's not acceptable that PHP can 
only be built on a single box with a peculiar setup and restricted access.

As I wrote in my original post SEVERAL HOURS AGO, the only place PHP appears 
to build under VC6 is on the snaps box. Everybody else I've spoken to has 
to --disable-odbc to get it to build. Responding to that with "oh but it 
builds on the snaps box" does nothing but make you look silly.

Jesus, you're delusional.

Pierre, just do me a massive favour and please don't respond to any messages 
I post to other people again. It is not the first time I've asked this, but 
I'd really like it to be the last.
