If they are going to be *part* of the 'standard components', then we already agreed they would be bmaked. However, these components are not mandatory for all installations, though all of them in their entirety (sp?) are necessary for the any/all of the netdist tools to operate correctly. They one big 'module' rather than separate distinct programs. That means if one is installed, you can rely on using the other parts for scripts/interopabiliyt, etc... Nate
