This is off the top of my head with a healthy mix of speculation. But, I believe you can override the 'install' command in the Makefiles. Often it is just "cp" or the is often an actual "install" program or similar "install.sh" script. This means that in theory, you ought to be able to write a script that compares the md5sum of the installed file with the about to be installed file and only actually install it if the two files are different.
#include <stddiscalaimers.h> #include <nonstddisclaimers.h> #include <afewotherdisclaimers.h> Let us know if it works out, this would be a nice thing to have around here too. :-) Regards, Curt.
