compile with -Werror -Wall
I do not see -e as at all analogous to -Werror -Wall, or to errno, for
the reason I wrote before: not all nonzero exit codes are errors. E.g.,
foo && bar. I guess we just have differing opinions/experiences on this :).
However, since in reality you are maintaining texi2dvi, and have done
everything of significance to it for some time, if you are happier with
-e, then that's ok by me.
cp -r is fine to copy hierarchies, but not sets of files.
I don't understand what you're saying, however, again, if you are
happier with tar, that's ok. Eli, I sincerely doubt there is anyone in
the world who has tex and texinfo installed without having tar
installed. That would be crazy.
As for rewriting texi2dvi in C, I don't think it's a good idea.
C is not a good language for forking tons of programs, messing with
tons of files, etc. Sure, it could be done, but I see no gain, and
meanwhile there are about ten zillion more important things to do.
Thanks,
