How about a new configure macro to label implementations as experimental/unstable? If module labeled in this way is included in the mib-modules list, configure bails w/a warning. And then require --enable-experimental to allow configure to continue in those cases. The warning could be fairly dire, indicating that code may not compile, link, run, behave as expected and may cause your system to implode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
