thanks, I have tried to keep blackbox working in this way. I do hope you are aware that the current tree is going to be in a constant state of flux.

However I was displeased with the new automake as it littered the build tree with .deps dirs and myriads of other garbage. Mind looking at his old tree and comparing it to your patch? My other concern with the new autotools is that they are still not standard tools yet. Many linux distros (Debian included) still default to the older toolset. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
