The old configure script (for the sh-shell) printed out which LaTeX-package is currently cecked for so that the user got a feedback. configure.py only prints "+checking list of textclasses... " but not the name of the currently checked package. Why was this feature not implemented in configure.py? Could it be reimplemented?
A latex program is executed to test these classes. The shell version allows latex to write to stdout, but the python version uses a pipe to collect all the results (till latex exits) before it write out anything. I will see what I can do. Bo
