that idea looks really good to me, if you can make it work. I like it anyway. The per-file flags are somewhat hard to parse. I think we might want a pass for 'lar z' as well. I hope this does not cause as much argument as the other ideas :-) Anyway, want to drop a patch on us? ron -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
