That is a complete misrepresentation of the post in question. It was in no manner of interpretation a "flame". You simply took offense out of thin air. And there's not much *I* can do about *that*.

In which version? Are you saying that your installation procedure now honors the "--with-jpeg=" and "--with-png=" flags to configure? Because although you had these flags, in the last version I installed from source, they did not work -- it was still necessary to edit the Makefile. That was either 1.1.3 or 1.1.4, and I'm pretty sure it was the latter. Now if you've actually fixed this, I look forward to trying it out the next time I have to do a complete from-source installation. I'll say "thank you", just in case.
