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. Jordan
