After reading this fragment, I had the following idea: imagine we had: (1) support for guile, (2) support for accessing/modifying dependency tree from guile, (3) support for truly order-only prerequisites. Then the .WAIT feature could be implemented in "user-space" ;-). -boris _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
