Yes, I just took a look at the configure script, and you are absolutely correct. I think what happened is someone complained that they just hit enter on the question, thinking they would get the default, and as a result got no logfile. So, I added a test for a null input, giving the default in that case, without updating the template. Dammit. OK, well I can easily make a new rule that allows for entering 'none' to give you no logfile, and then update the templates, but that means asking all the translators to update their translations while we are in a freeze, and they are very busy with other stuff right now. Well, I will see what I can do. Thanks for reporting, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
