Whee!  Thanks!

CZ> This is difficult to fix without putting a better parser in xstr.

Yeh, think I noticed that, too.  I gave it a shot, but I obviously
don't understand what I'm doing. :-)

Thank you for getting back to me, even to say that "it is not high up
in the foodchain right now".

I'm not looking for instant gratification (read: instant fix), only that
someone has seen it and has acknowledged that it is a problem, even if
it's not considered high priority.  It's been very frustrating to find
problems, alert people of them and not even get an ACK saying "yeah,
it's a problem we're not inclined to fix for quite a while, so you
might want to find a workaround."

Time for me to hack mk.conf not to do SHAREDSTRINGS for gnu stuff. :-)
