Pfffft, that's not mine :)

Some licenses were defined a few days ago that weren't the last lines
before defines and nobody said anything, you should have shown up then :P

Propose it then and get it rolling, for the time being there's no rule
about it.

Ok.
All the packages that use openssl should be checked though, almost none
of them do zlib either (doesn't mean they use it directly, but a good
check wouldn't hurt).

I don't think i've said that, but i might be wrong.
At the moment i prefer SED rather than a patch because there are many
instances around, i'll try reaching upstream to see how receptive they
are to a patch that just defines THRIFT ?= .. for a clean cross build.
It was a leftover from a quick hack to get it to build properly that
i've overlooked when cleaning up.
Fixed, i'll send a revised patchset soon.
Regards.
