--- Comment #61 from Thomas Spear Speeddymon@gmail.com 2010-09-03 23:30:47 CDT --- LOL Jerome and Dan, as fast as I can type them, you have more coming.
@Jerome, I disagree that the bug should be reopened, but perhaps another bug for smaller issues such as the "pidgin problem" Dan mentioned could be opened to get incremental stubs in place, if someone was willing/able to take on the work.
Sadly, my skills in programming are almost nil. Compare that statement to how I thought 10 years ago at the top of this bug. ;-)
Anyways, not having mfc is not a huge deal no matter what apps need it, imo, as long as a copy installed with some other app can do the job without issues. It seems to me that so far that still works, so getting a builtin mfc*.dll should continue to be a low priority for the foreseeable future.
