The tokenizer understands all the kernel-specific keywords, and most of the grammer is consumed with kernel-specific things. Ok, most of the rework is going to be removing stuff you don't need, but it still leaves you with lots of work. If you really want to look at it, it's in /usr/src/usr.sbin/config, and you can find it in the FreeBSD CVS server. On the other hand, I once decided I needed that kind of functionality myself. I wrote a config script that used a meta-config that described the config files for the program being built. If you feel like tryig make it work on a Rexx interpreter available to you, or rewriting it in Perl/Python/tcl/whatever, you're welcome to a copy. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
