This same topic of removing stale files at installworld time has been discussed before, and it seems to be the least evil solution. I hate to be so rigid about not having mergemaster do it, but it was a principle at the beginning, and users are now justifiably reliant on things being consistent. If we're going to change our historical behavior of not deleting files then it should be something entirely new. Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
