Several really great replies spring to mind, so here goes:
"Last time I 'changed the code real quick', we called it version 3.6!"
(turn and throw your mouse through the window behind you and pretend you're
David Letterman)
or, how 'bout:
"I'd like to, David, but if I did, the Apple Source-Configuration Management
thugs would be on me like bugs on a system disk."
or maybe (my personal fave, with thanks to Ted Kaehler):
"Sorry, I can't. My neural network is down, and my agent is out sick
with a virus."
Seriously, it'd be simpler to make the quick patches that Earle R. Horton
suggests in <11414@dartvax.Dartmouth.EDU>. Thanks, Earle; I was hoping that
I could post the suggestion, and that some other enterprising soul would
figure out the actual changes and post them. Some would call this "laziness;"
here at Apple, we refer to this as a Third-Party Opportunity.
"And always remember: if you must move fonts, please don't drink."
