What I reminder from it:

  The first "isohybrid" was in perl.
  But that made perl a run-time dependency.

  A compiled version of "isohybrid" removed that
  run-time dependency on perl.


What I think of it:

  The Perl variant of isohybrid should be removed
  from the source tree.


What I have prepared:

  a patch.
