The fact that a 3rd party tool (sbopkg) is available to ease the 
compilation of SlackBuilds.org scripts does not imply the reverse - that 
the SlackBuilds.org site's functionality should be adapted to comply with 
requirements imposed by an external tool.

In other words, we will not change the site's functionality. Use a web 
browser and search the SlackBuilds.org site if you need to find something.
