That was discussed in comp.os.os2.apps, and I'm not expecting that 
Dave will release a fully statically linked SM version of BWW's FF for
an eCS 2.x environment. IIRC he has already reduced the number of 
required DLLs in the past, but as such FF is BWW's impressive project.

Releasing the DLLs as "RPM" ZIP files could work too, to offer people 
an alternative way to manage their own packages, but apparently 
"unification" was more important than users.

FWIW, BWW has complained ("press release") that people have to contact
them. I'm not using eCS 2.x DE/EN nor an eCS 2.x environment, I'm not 
using the FF for OS/2 in question (because of their excessive 
requirements), and I tend to not create accounts to report or discuss 
RFCs, policies and bugs.
