Hi Pavel, Would you be interested in 4.6.0 binaries for Solaris, HP-UX and AIX? Is it better to use 4.6.0 sources or latest snapshot? Could you please give suggested set of configure options? Do you want builds with debug info or stripped? I would suggest zip format for packaging because it is available on all platforms and doesn't require root access for installing.
