You can touch whatever subject you want. I'm going to try to separate the make.conf information, and then I'll submit the patches for review. People will think they are so horrible that there will be calls for immediate removal of my commit rights, less I continue to shame that august body with my presence, or inflict any damage in our cvs tree. BUT, while they get flamed, people might just spend 2% of their messages explaining how they should have been done instead, and a viable patch result from that. THEN you can add whatever knob you can get through bde. :-) -- Daniel C.
