Or are there objections still? I still think it's wrong to have a versioned file that needs to be modified for some optional build. It would be better to have the Makefile create that file (as empty) as part of the build, if it doesn't already exist. Then it doesn't need to e in the repository, and developers who need to invoke WEBHACKDEVEL will simply create it before running Make.
