Do you have a workaround for > msys/windows, or systems that don't handle symlinks well? Hard links? Shortcuts? Whatever will get the proper names in the PATH. For Unix, symlinks in an arbitrary subdirectory are for those really insane cases where local politics prevents the correct solution. This also usually means that nobody really understands or cares what is going on and the buld tools are not versioned and product releases are being handled by kooks, (young) programmers or BOFHs, instead of people who are really interested in releasing a 'product'. My opinion, of course. H _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
