Has anyone thought about a solution that is based on the more generic problem of suppressing recursing into arbitrary directories by using an exclude list that uses REs or patterns? Most NO_FOO variables do nothing but prevent that certain subdirectories are added to SUBDIR. It seems to me that a more direct approach to achieve this is more generic and usable than the inherently non- scalable solution of introducing more NO_FOO variables. Just a thought... -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
