I think for this reason, nsample must not be part of the standard build procedure. [...] Since the absence of such a policy leads to insanity, I will be implementing it in the CMake build shortly. That is how it will remain unless someone is more clever than I am.


Policy effected, tested, and pushed to Darcs.

The only clever way I can think of to reverse the policy, is to build up a public database of benchmark submissions for various target configurations. Then the defaults could be target specific. It would still be a matter of selecting defaults. A naive user cannot be trusted to run stack-size.cmake.

Target specific results would require architectural canonization. Yeah, ./configure does that. Not sure about CMake.
