And maybe it can be alleviated for some of the virtuals problem space. For those apps that need an editor, one could think of editor=vim. That would then of course raise the question of a sensible default - as it is with virtual/editor right now. Generally, its prime area of use is where something can be turned off (foo=off) or turned on with different ways of getting the functionality (foo=gnufoo, foo=freefoo, foo=foong). Another thing to keep in mind is though, that gnufoo might not have all the nifty-but-patent-ridden stuff that freefoo has. Then again, the user/sysadmin should know which of those fits the bill. The question would only be how to convey this info to the admin. Regards, Tobias -- In the future, everyone will be anonymous for 15 minutes. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
