No, that's just the way it's done. There is actually no requirement that a build/port system modify files in-place. Most autoconf uses, for example, don't. And nothing prevents you from checking in generated files. It's just the way openssl works right now. /r$ -- SOA Appliance Group IBM Application Integration Middleware ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
