One other thing could be a significant performance win: if we could use GNU 'make -j' to run most of the guts of the 'configure' script in parallel. Waiting for 'configure' to finish is something that slows me down a lot; often times 'configure' takes longer than the subsequent 'make', simply because 'configure' is inherently sequential. _______________________________________________ Hangout mailing list Hangout-at-nylxs.com http://lists.mrbrklyn.com/mailman/listinfo/hangout
