: I think you ought to give it a try before you say "it's nothing big". It : is something really big, all tied up in lots and lots of Imakefiles, and : hidden behind some horrible complicated hacks to make it's own : namespace. On top of that, it's a moving target, under development so : it's always changing. Most of the imake stuff isn't horrible to fix, unless you are completely new to Imake (in which case it is likely impossible). In the version I took a look at last year, they were doing some interesting hacks to have lots of stuff automatically generated. Why they needed to do this was hand waved away, but it did seem pretty gross. Warner
