I will, however, *not* convert existing DRM_WAIT_ON to a Linux-centric function, so I will not be the one to kill (or contribute to the killing of) the portability of that file. That I leave to someone else ;-). P.S. If the "fight" starts I will side with the "keep the portability alive" camp. I have "emotional" ties with other (less widely used) operating systems. ;-) -- Ilija
