Bill, Agouron is apparently not building a manufacturing capability other than capacity to make product for clinical trials. There was a discussion of this a month ago on this thread. They have multiple contract manufacturers. It is absurd to think that Merck will buy Agouron or that HIV PI's would drive such a consideration. Merck has been moving towards disease management for years, and clearly is working on a strategy of adding their NNRTI to their offerings. Merck has a collaboration using a protease inhib for osteoporosis with Arris of San Francisco. Arris has a proprietary fundamental technology for rational design of protease inhibitors in general.
