Except, of course, for being one big honking file. I thought Brent was asking how to determine configure order with a number of distinct, smaller configs. Either way, just yesterday I was commenting to Dan that we could forego one more external dependency by doing dependencies "a la" make, rather than "via". (The idea being that an initial bootstrap is rather straightforward. Then again, how weighty is make as a dependency?) -- Bryan C. Warnock [EMAIL PROTECTED]
