Changing the configure script would change things wherever ./configure is used. And, besides, "it looks prettier" is hardly a reason to accept behavior that might be broken somewhere. If we can agree that "test ... -a ..." and "test ... && test ..." are functionally equivalent, but that the latter might work somewhere the former doesn't, it's pretty clear that we should use the latter. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
