hmm, i generally prefer working with rmake rather than cvc cook mainly
to avoid installing to many local dev packages. this wouldn't be an
issue on fdev i suppose, but only if every developer has the ability to
install new local packages. is there a simple solution for that?

what if my package depends on another package that i am building myself?
does cvc cook handle that?

barring any solution to that, could a local rmake be running on fdev? if
unused it wouldn't take much resources, but it would be available for
those cases where cvc cook doesn't work.

greetings, martin.
