I like this too. GNU PSPP takes this approach a step further, by reporting failure to find required libraries (etc.) only at the end of the configure run, so that the user gets a complete list of all the missing prerequisites, not just the first one that configure could not find. -- Ben Pfaff http://benpfaff.org
