I think the case isn't someone building packages, but someone building packages for *distribution*. So maybe a better var would be "BUILDING_PKG_DIST" or "LOWEST_COMMON_DENOMINATOR". A simple name change I realize, but I like variables to be self-documenting. %-) I would love this, and maybe we should impliment it now as a stop gap measure until the new way is blazed. Previously in my vim-3.0 port, I was trying to second guess this based on the BATCH variable. -- -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu)
