Yeah, and my main point is that it seems unreasonable to me to *have* to use *one* configure check for all sub-projects involved. clients can remain as-is. pathfinder just needs a check for 1.5 and up. Forcing 1.5 for all sub-projects sounds unreasonable and pointless to me. > Unfortunately, it's too late for this release, but the will be a next > (bug-fix) release.
