FWIW I agree with Eric. Having behind-the-scenes path probing for local overrides is, IMO, asking for a lot of trouble. It's far to easy to drop a file on your system and forget about it it, leading to much confusion and frustration a few months/years later. Also consider the support burden... I just don't see the need for it. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
