Get rid of tcp wrappers?

Hi!
I'm not sure this is the right forum, but I'll go with it anyways.

The first thing I noticed when beginning to fill up my newly installed Arch linux with software was that most of the networkrelated packages was compiled with tcp wrappers (ssh for example, but several others aswell).

I really don't like the usage of tcp wrappers. If I want security, I use iptables.

Is there a way to get rid of the entire tcp wrappers thing and still use the packages, or do I have to compile everything on my own?

Regards

In other words, you'd have to recompile the packages.

An easier solution, that wouldn't require a recompile of everything, would be to put ALL:ALL in /etc/hosts.allow.
That _effectively_ throws open the tcp_wrappers doors.
