That makes it sound like it's some sort of privilege that we don't want clang to feel bad about if it doesn't get. :) In any case, if tblgen isn't even used other than as a build tool then I agree, "nesting" is reasonable, and I think Roman is right that it shouldn't be installed either. Not that the BIND bmake is authoritative in any way, but it has a parallel here in that I have to build the BIND libs in order to build the binaries but unless the user twiddles the knob I don't install the libs. ... which leads to hopefully my last suggestion, if there is _any_ chance that it would be useful to have tblgen installed then providing a knob to do so (defaulting to off of course) is cheap, and will prevent you having to rework the code later when someone requests it (and believe me, someone will). :) hth, Doug -- ... and that's just a little bit of history repeating. -- Propellerheads Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/
