None of which is about the build system. FWIW, I don't agree with your conclusions re the build system. It's more than just a bunch of conservative dinosaurs not wanting to change how they do anything, though you can frame it that way if you like. It's that a change needs to offer really compelling benefits, and I don't think enough people are convinced of those benefits. -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
