Re: [9fans] mkfile question: mklib & co.

[erik quanstrom <quanstro@quanstro.net>]

it's just different.  having knowledge of modern unix impedes understanding
of plan 9 in the same way that basic programming impedes one's ability
to learn how to program. (yup.  i startedwith integer basic.)

i'm not sure what HFILES are used for other than mk update, which i haven't used.
i think this is superceeded by pull.

in general, plan 9 libraries don't install header files as part of their mk process.
the header files are just put where they belong to begin with.
