Soon. ATM with Martin Rubey we are working on improved version of guessing package, I plan to include it in new release. Optimistically in few days we will be ready, then say a week for stabilization and final release testing. Of course, things always take longer than optimistic estimate, but actually we have a version that works quite well and we are adding more improvements. At some moment we have to decide that new improvements will go into another release (after this one). > > I would put lines with 'cd' in a subshell, > > because AFAIK most make-s execute lines completely separately, > > but some put the whole rule as a script for shell.

Even if today we cannot use Berkeley make IMHO it is not wise to code in way which does not work with it without good reason. > >> I just haven't yet investigated how to get such a variable ALL_HTFILES, > >> since you just access them currently via *.ht (which is somehow not > >> perfect).

I do not remember how well they work -- NAG version did not work at all in our current setup, but IIRC after a few little tweaks produced reasonable output.
