Hi Tyler,

OK, so I might need something more portable than cpio... but the
"\s.*" part does serve a purpose; the MANIFEST file format allows for a
description of the file after whitespace. I guess I could do "[ \t]" or
something else instead of the \s.
Ah, I didn't think of that. You cannot use \t either, but using a literal
TAB inside the brackets works portably AFAIK.
- the information only has to live in one place
Yes, that's why I suggested generating it from Makefile.am data.
Thanks for the insights... I'm going to look more into \s and cpio.
If you're afraid that `cp -p' isn't portable enough, you can still
probably get away with tar, I guess.
Cheers,
Ralf
