Pretty much the same thing view binfile does.
Note also that the real problem lesspipe was designed for would be
better addressed by a compressed file system.

I seem to be experiencing problems with builds under the fakeroot
environment not creating setuid/gid flags correctly. This may be
related to the fact that I have installed eg++ and libstdc++-2.8,
while the current fakeroot (0.0-11) is still built with
libstdc++-2.7.2.

I have fixed yet some more little mistakes, and enhanced the install doc some
more. This time, I mostly had to include the suggestions from other people.

Do we have a modula-3 compiler? I thought about packaging cvsup. Since
postgresql is distributed via cvsup I use it anyway and I'd like to get rid
of that local precompiled libc5 version I use right now. But packaging
modula-3 compiler seems like a lot of work.

Apologies are due for my not trimming the crossposting before; I meant to,

amongst the debian mailing lists.
