Not being the kind of guy who casually walks through /usr/include once in a while, I only now just discovered that "make installincludes" indiscriminately installs all .h files under /usr/include. I understand the desirablity of simple makefile magic for this task, but couldn't we agree on some sort of magic-marker to put in files we want or don't want installed in /usr/include ? Obviously the least intrusive option is to add a "/* NO_USR_INCLUDE */" in the files we don't want exported, but I would really prefer that exportation of a .h file be an explicit action and therefore prefer if the marker actually were "/* USR_INCLUDE */" in the files we want exported. Am I just being oldfashioned here ? -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
