AFAIK this is the only way : to accomplish this. I thinks it's the only way currently implemented. One possible solution would be to keep a list in the relevant Makefiles of files to be removed when other things are installed. Once the bsd.* implementation is there, it should often be matter of moving things from one macro to another when something is removed. I don't think it's actually worth the effort to do right, so rather than doing it right, right now, I'll keep doing it the way you described above. -- Christopher Vance
