What was the approximate timeframe of these? Can I
find them in (any) archives? I started a thread on
the user list:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108153604200003&r=1&w=2
--regarding optional dependencies, depending on
targets from files <import>ed with
optional="true"--for which one solution could be
expanding properties in depends. Maybe it could even
be time to revisit that decision in light of the
advent of <import>. There could be other
alternatives...

know)
