Ralf, would you agree? I'm not sure which parts you refer to that you would consider too dangerous; the *_configure_args changes? From a glance, they could cause some packages to fail -- many packages have custom-written hacks to invoke sub-configures in a different way (e.g., without passing the cache file, so that a different compiler may be used (and added in CC)) and thus use or mess with the arguments. I haven't looked closely at the patch, though; I don't care much whether I get to it before or after it is committed (the plan is still to look at every change that goes into 2.60 anyways). Cheers, Ralf
