Hmm, this approach seems to make it even less readable :-) If I understood it right Bruce added the double quotes to the Makefiles because he thought having a text string there without quotes was bad. But having to escape them there is surely worse! The original patch added the quotes in the sed rule. If we want to keep the quotes in the Makefile:s, we should proably try to fix this problem at the sed rule, not in every Makefile. If we can't, then my vote is to go back to the orignial patch and remove the quotes from the Makefiles completely. I'm busy with other stuff right now, but I'll take a look at it as soon as i can unless someone has already fixed it. This being sed-and-makefile stuff I'm sure there are others who are more fluent in it than me :-) //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
