pff Why does one need to understand the hairy details of library
depenencies and compiler options when all you need to know
is how the program functions and interacts with its environment. This is
like requiring people to understand how a carburator works before they can
drive a car. Do you understand *exactly* how a PCI bus functions? Or even
your optical mouse? I don't and seem to be doing just fine with both of them
