Allright, that's valid to me (don't thank me for my meaningful addition to this conversation). > As a off-topic side-note I think we removing config.mk and just having the > Makefile is simpler too. I think that config.mk makes a bit more obvious (maybe) what is supposed to be configured, and what is part of the “stock” Makefile rules. This could also be a commented section within the Makefile though.
