When installing rakudo somewhere else on your system, we can't force a rebuild of nqp or the vms without first removing the existing installed copies (which means we have a period where we'd break the usage of rakudo for any users on the box.) The easiest solution I can think of is to add a --force option to Configure.pl which would force nqp/vm's to be re-built and reinstalled into the prefix directory, regardless of whether the installed versions at that prefix were recent enough. This would also avoid the issue of re-building a VM with different config options. e.g. rebuilding rakudo-on-moar to use the JIT - currently if you have a new enough version of moar installed, you couldn't install a new one with a different JIT option without removing the installed version first. -- Will "Coke" Coleda
