It might DWYM but not DWIM :-). (Case distinction is one of my (many) pet
peeves. If I hadn't wanted an upper case letter, I wouldn't have gone to
the extra work of pushing the "Shift" key down to get it.) However, it's
your call, do as you wish.

Perhaps. Units do tend to get shuffled around as Configure is generated
on different systems. The exact order is underdetermined by the
dependencies. The order used is then determined by the particular make
program (or is it tsort, I forget now) used by metaconfig to generate
Configure. Don't worry about it. Once you get your first patch in
reshuffling things, subsequent ones won't do so much reshuffling.
(Unless, of course, you move a unit from the standard 'dist' location over
to perl's 'private' U directory, in which case it (and all its dependents)
might move around a lot again.)
