I know the OCaml bindings could benefit from this.
I think locations where our software is installed should have good defaults (hopefully), but also I think user customization of those locations should be allowed as well. So sure, go for it (after testing my idea of caching the variable actually works like you want it to). N.B. cache variables are tricky. So in general I prefer not to put variables in the cache unless some user customization is desired (as in the present case). Alan __________________________ Alan W.
