Of course. I was only using that as an example. What I meant to convey
(and I clearly did a poor job) was that this problem runs through the
system, starting at the deepest levels. I don't even bother sending
binaries to a co-worker, who uses a different distro than I do. Much
easier to give him the source and have him compile against the
libraries on his own system. That's just not something that's going to
work for game companies who want to pay the army of specialists that
they employed to produce a modern game.
