my head is already swimming because "dependent", "dependency" and "dependence" all are very subtly different and have different meanings in different contexts. i like the term "upstream" and "downstream" because a moment's thought in comparison w/ the real-world (physical) motion of water shows what is upstream affects what is downstream, but not the other way around. unfortunately, i have no suggestion on how to adapt these terms to things that are mutually-dependent. as for the rest of the text, IIUC you are proposing a way to explicitly distguish direct from indirect. how about also distiguishing between "fatal-indirect" and "non-fatal-indirect"? (i presume lack of direct is always fatal.) thi _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
