Hi folks, i am the current WML maintainer and spy you silently for few weeks ;-) Yes, wmk uses the new -MM flag automatically, which slows it down :( I try to mimic gcc, but it has to be improved. Any pointer on how to track dependancies is welcome (this is strongly off-topic, so please don't reply to debian-www). About ePerl, Ralf S. Engelschall will soon incorporate these fixes (and others?) in a new release. Yours Denis
