There are some places where != should not be actually used, and I will eventually clean then up. It's not normally a problem because make(1) considers a non-zero exit value as non-fatal, and we don't usually use != results at `install' phase. 2. This would make it impossible to exclude some manpages from build, given a good reason. > and then using special cases to add/remove non-conforming filenames ? > You can't remove without using the := type of assigmenent.
