Now, when I want to try to implement something like that within our build infrastructure, I can't find the message in which the idea was mentioned, despite spending quite a while searching through the list archives. I just must not be using the right keywords :-(. I've also spent some time reading through the Make documentation and trying to come up with an idea for how to do this efficiently, and so far, I have not had any inspirations. So, can anyone tell me the basic idea I need to get this to work? I'm sure it'll be obvious once someone tells me :-). Thanks, Jonathan Kamens -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
