But my point is that most of the time, you never want to override things (macros or target), but augment them with some kind of pre or post processing. Peo's point of simply copy-pasting the "abstract" build code to fully override the target duplicates that code, and makes build maintenance all the more difficult. That's the well known issue with code generator and code wizards when it's done in a one-of way. Copy-pasting a target content shows failure of the generic build to be flexible, and should be the exception rather than the rule, and actually frowned upon IMHO. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
