oh, that somebody was me... and Bradford should have just read my posts...
I think this is a difference between 10.2 and 10.3, but it might not
be needed in the released version of 10.3. It should not hurt in 10.3
though as libresolv (the dynamic version) is there.
BTW, Bradford, what is the point/advantage of using darwinports for
building exim?
