That sounds great.

On other alternative would be to simply have the new version of the makefile tell people how to fix the problem by grabing snapshots from some ftp/web site or a very limited anon-cvs checkout from freefall (what I did) or some other solution. -- Brooks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
