Some work is still that makes the toolset\nrelocatable (i.e. independent of the prefix) - currently, the\ninstallation location is compiled into the binaries, which is a big\nno-no on Windows.\n\nBut I can't say that the port is fragile; I use it daily in a production\nenvironment.\n\n-- Hannes\n"}]}
