It really depends on how often someone argues with their compiler. I have called g** an asshole 4 times today. Since many packagers are brain dead and people elect grab the official source tgz to get gengetopt (minus) whatever a packager does to it, I would think backwards compat is paramount. However, changing the headers (should not) break anything for most people.. but I see no urgent reason to do it at this point in favor of airing on the side of caution. Not saying its a bad idea. Just my two cents. Cheers, --Tim _______________________________________________ Help-gengetopt mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gengetopt
