Hi,
Unless you consider that users should be able to associate a message like:
setup: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0 not found
By that argument we can never drop any library, ever b/c SOMETHING might depend on it.
Correct.
Wouldn't there be a way of either reverse engineering the Loki loader to see what (if anything) it does special or adding a compat- library in?
While I completely agree with Seth's argument (I've used it plenty of times myself), losing the Loki loader would mean losing quite a lot of games which rely on the Loki loader.
TTFN
