Kensuke,
Okay, I got it to build and run. It is very nice.
What you think about renaming old '-rootless'to '-oldrootless' and calling the new '-win32rootless' just '-rootess'?
-win32rootless is going to cause a lot of trouble for people to remember, and most people will get confused about the distinction between -rootless and -win32rootless. Is there any reason to suspect that the old '-oldrootless' will remain in use after the new '-rootless' is available? It would seem to me that we might even want to just replace the original rootless functionality with the new functionality that uses the shared code.
Anybody have some input on this?
I agree Harold.
Deprecate the old one and remove the code, unless there's some benefits to using it.
Alan,
Input noted. We agree completely.
Harold
