Indeed. That's why I thought these four knobs were a good first-cut at doing something. They're helpful, they're simple, and there's only a few of them. My opinion of these particular choices are probably influenced by the fact that three of the four knobs are things that I myself would have used at one time or another... My concern was more directed at Robert musing about adding lines to every Makefile in the system, trying to tag them for one thing or another. That's the kind of thing that I think we might regret, if we jumped into it without having more of an explicit game plan. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
