I'm really against GNU-ifying BSD make. Unless you're getting a lot of off-list hate-mail for the idea, though, my count is 2/2(including you)/1 abstain. Two days in the week following Memorial Day weekend (where you get Monday off, so you can have 9 days in a row for 4 days of vacation time) is hardly enough time to build a roaring consensus, one way or the other... Are you sure you aren't just being a little bit impatient here? -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
