For your patch to apply, the user would literally have to had named his project the empty string (as opposed to NULL), and i cannot imagine anyone actually doing that, nor can i imagine any useful semantics for such cases. (But i'm often quite unimaginative.) i guess my question is: what _benefit_ does your patch provide for users other than yourself? -- - stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.

fwiw, i disagree. This patch removes an option from the user (specifying an
empty string) and does not add any new option (not specifying a prefix
provides the same effect).
