UT2003, for example, requires a large number of files, in a specific directory hierarchy, that do not have unique names. If they were to be put in distfiles, it would be necessary, at least, to put them in a subdirectory of distfiles, like ut2003, and such a system is not yet standardized. -- Jeremy Maitin-Shepard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
