My original paper dealt with differing PKGNAMEs, based on the options needed.

I'll try to think of a method that we can put in the describe target and coordinate with the actual Makefiles. But I think it's fairly easy.. the thing I'd like to avoid is unnecessary .if's where a simple variable could do the job; or if it IS necessary, then perhaps move the code to an options file like I suggested. -- Will Andrews <will@physics.purdue.edu> <will@FreeBSD.org> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+ a--- C++ UB++++$ P+ L- E--- W+ N-- !o ?K w--- O- M+ V- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X+ R+ tv+ b++ DI+++ D+ G++ e>++++ h! r- y?
