Ah, I see that run scripts are going away... this is what I get for reading 
the forum late (and backwards).

One question though: the Lua API did not support all of the features of the 
features that were supported by the native Tup syntax (at least when I last 
used it).  The ^o^ flag, for example.  Also globbing didn't work the same 
way (as I recall, it was done in-place).  And the "pretty print" text.  And 
flags in extra outputs.  It was really welcome to switch to run scripts and 
be able to use those features.

Are all those things going away for dynamic rules, then?

Python support would be a good silver lining.  I originally implemented my 
run script in both Python and gawk.  The gawk version was shorter and 
faster, so that's what I kept.

But either way -- I use pretty much all the features of the native syntax. 
 Will the Python API also support a reduced rule structure?

Thanks,
Gavin
