	trivial, dont use any tool that you care to, unless you have
source for it. i have been living quite happily ever since i adopted
this policy many years ago for any computer that i owned. in fact, the
quality of most tools that i use, that come with source, in general
are *far* superior to their commercial counter parts. its not hard to
explain why.
