The (mis)advantage of defaulting ... :-)
So, as (one of) the prime maintainers of msdosdjgpp, how
would you feel about having to regenerate fixincl.x on a
separate box when you needed a fixinc change for msdos? You
wind up with a bit of a hassle, but I don't have to bother
maintaining two versions of AutoGen. Since I have put
more effort into these emails than I have in the AG-4.x
maintenance for the past year or so, I don't really care
a whole bunch. Besides, I think some day a stripped down
variant of Guile will become available anyway. :-)
Cheers,
Bruce
