Only thing I'd do is make the exclusions a constant. There are still more programs in the wild that require the archives than IM, though few and far between. You can assemble the variable using a short loop, and just use it unquoted in the command for /usr. Also, the exclusion is not necessary for OPTDIRS. As to the explanatory text, I'd at very least mention autotools (for historical reference), and meson as the impetus for the change. --DJ -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
