Yup.

There is a "use lib catdir( $FindBin::Bin, 'lib' );" for all the scripts
and the startup script (smokecurrent.sh) adds the directory to the path.

Sounds like a good idea, if I find some spare time I'll give that a shot, but
patches are also welcome :)

T::S::S::Hardlink uses *all* of the source directory, so if you are using a
working copy (under version control) the MANIFEST check will report all .svn
stuff in the report. I'd use rsync on local directories (resulting in
something like):
rsync -a --delete --exclude '.svn' working_dir/. .
This can be configured from 'configsmoke.pl' (Just make sure that the rsync
source ends with a slash [or slash-dot].)

you can always edit the resulting smoke58x.sh shellscript after
'configsmoke.pl' to add the 'svn switch' before 'smokeperl.pl' is started.
The problem with a single source-dir could be if your 5.9.0 smoke overlaps
your 5.8.x smoke.
Good luck,
Abe
