If That effort is needed if it's in the tree or outside as the tree moves on one way or the other.

Thomas has done a great job with the last C4B releases making sure that they can just be compiled outside the tree. Make life a lot easier than in the earlier where I patched my local tree again and again. Imho there were two few lines commits needed to make this happen. I am not really saying that this is the way to go, but it is an option. /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb bzeeb at Zabbadoz dot NeT Software is harder than hardware so better get it right the first time.
