If it's been a minor problem for ages, then why the sudden rush to put it in just before coming out with a major version..? We seem to have enough momentum here to start a nice 5.1 as soon as 5.0 is released, in just 4 or 5 weeks... I wouldn't be the party pooper if everybody else thinks it's a good idea, and maybe it's because to me the build system always looked like black magic, but I feel that doing this change so late in the process is begging for trouble :) Zeev
