I think we'd all know it if we saw it.  We're not talking about rocket
science here, we're talking about a friggin' build system!  Why is it
that we can instrument an entirely new VM system without much more
than 3 or 4 messages discussing ways and means, yet when it comes to
adding something like a new flag to the "od" command then 500 messages
are generated first, most of them highly impassioned.

I for one am sick of this thread, and would far prefer to do the work
*myself* at this point than continue this discussion.  It'd be a more
than reasonable trade-off.
