IIUC, Gary Vaughan's attempt to overhaul the bootstrap script would take advantage of 'autoconf --trace' and other tools to get reliable information. I still feel bad that I haven't spent any review time on that. I agree that the best way to learn what m4 will expand a macro to is to use m4 to do the macro expansion, not sed. It's just that it's faster to fix a sed-script within existing framework than it is to redesign the framework to be more powerful. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
