Zack Weinberg submitted a fixincl patch for many things.
I have asked him under private email to break up and
simplify the patch. I am pulling out one issue here
in order to get consensus before installing. The issue
is whether or not the Berkeley regex processing is okay
for inclusion or not. It will apparently cut processing
time by another 60% yielding a 7-fold improvement over the
original script. I don't get particularly excited over the
Berkeley vs. GNU license debate, but I would hate to
replace the gnu-regex only to have to put it back.
Comments, please?
Thanks,
Bruce
