The code for this would be somewhat ugly given the current structure of the code. My initial reaction is that I would like to put off this addition given that a much less intrusive option exists. Those that are likely to be picky about their manpath are likely to be the same set that would not find using Ed's proposed method terribly onerous. > though a --found-dynamic-manpath-search-directories would be > useful for debugging purposes. I think that for Ed's usage, it would work as well. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/
