Rather than overhaul bsd.doc.mk might I suggest (and I have spent a lot of time working with .mk files) you write a BSD.sgml.mk and a BSD.texinfo.mk to handle these. I would prefer you do it this way as that will make it easier for me to migrate your work into the slowly moving, but long standing major sized project of mine to completly revamp /usr/share/mk into something a lot more sane, with lots and lots of cleanup of what we have now (there are no less than 50 bugs in 6 files :-(). The big giant mess in there now can be reduced (and I have an 80% functional version) to BSD.src.mk that runs much faster, has no duplicated code in it and fixes a _ton_ of generic design problems (including cross platform compilation and multiple platform targetting from one source tree, rerooted /usr/src, /usr/obj hierarchies, etc etc etc.) -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
