Agreed.

In general I agree, although I do find the segregation between int/
and obj/ helpful.  But thats more ancidotal than anything else, as
other schemes Im sure are just as easy to work with.

Am I correct in assuming the generated .lisp files are still easily
inspected and modified, and share their own component of the
dependency graph for make?

I guess I would like a tad bit more info than saying the current
scheme is bad.  It tells me nothing about the benifits of your change.


Take care,
Steve
