quite possible, that..
but still, is there really any reason not to allways have --with-fsstd?
As I see it, the people who want enlightenment into a separate folder, still can do that with --prefix...
I think most ppl would be just as happy (or even totally unaware) if --with-fsstd was removed and the only option in this matter would be --prefix, since these options do _almost_ the same thing. However, I still don't think it SHOULD be removed!
Many of us use UNIX/Linux because we are sick and tired of being bullied around in an MS environment, where we are forced to do things the MS way, and where the defaults are set and "options" do not exist. --with-fsstd and/or --prefix are "options", meaning you don't have to use them if you don't want to. But for me and many others, these options are one of the main reasons for using this system, so let's keep it that way: Flexible and optional!
Hmm... I didn't mean for this to get so philosophical, but I think you get the point, neither of these options are harmful, they just keep the system flexible!
/J
PS: BTW, did this issue come up because someone thought it to be hard to maintain two different options, or just because there was nothing else to discuss? If so, read the old article about the color of the shed from one of the FreeBSD lists. It applies anywhere, anytime!
