That is part of the intent of the "binary-branch" (if anyone still remembers it). My first step was just accommodating the lack of shell functions so I could strip down the clutter to a manageable size. I never have found much time to go much further, but the idea is to make the thing a shell program driver that feeds the shell a vastly smaller set of commands that do only what's needed. Eventually, it could be gotten to drive the compilers and linkers directly, but a lot of stuff would come first. My spare time does not seem to be copious. _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
