I still prefer the idea of being able to set an environment variable, $CONFIG_GUESS, rather than going hunting ourselves. Then, porting to a new config.guess script is a matter of calling: ./configure CONFIG_GUESS=/path/to/new/version rather than hoping that a hard-coded hunt will find the new config.guess appropriate for the system wanting the upgrade path. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
