Hi Matt.
How're you?

Uhm... Libgtop2 contains a lot of new features.
Maybe I'm wrong but the 2.0 version of libgtop was entirely rewritten.
However I'll check. ;)
Please notice libgtop2 is optional.

Uhm...Unsafe? Why?

It's an idea but... what if compile.sh asked the user something like (in
compile.sh):
"Do you want to include extra informations support (requires libgtop2
installed): [y/N]"?

Matt. About the function ids, I'd like to (re)define some ranges.
For examples:
- functions with id < 100 require special privileges
- functions with ranges between 101 and 200 can be requested only on the
local node (or with special privileges)
- function with id >201 don't require special privileges
Comments?
Matt: can you  (when you can/want, obviously) arrange the function ids?
Thanks.
They are (logically) untidy. ;)

I'm working to avoid hard coded stuff. ;)

Also to you, Matt.
Thanks a lot for your testing... ;)


CU.
Bye.
