so, what do people do about these directories in the projects under the CVS? `rm -rf` them after `make configures`? put them into .cvsignore? is it possible to add a --remove-cache or --no-cache option? you see, I call automake/autoheader/autoconf very rarely (obviously), so I do not care if it takes 1sec or 10sec once a month, while having a junk cache dirs is no good. please do listen: this is a __MAJOR__ inconvenience introduced in 2.53. -- Sam Steingold (http://www.podval.org/~sds) running RedHat7.2 GNU/Linux <http://www.camera.org> <http://www.iris.org.il> <http://www.memri.org/> <http://www.mideasttruth.com/> <http://www.palestine-central.com/links.html> I'm a Lisp variable -- bind me!
