Yes, but I don't have much of a clue how to proceed. I'm thinking a hook of somekind that gets invoked when nnir is invoked. That hook would be a list of possible of `nnir-glimpse-home' vars. Seems like it would only need to be `nnir-glimpse-home' in my case.=20 If I have .glimpse-nnml 1,2,3 directories with the glimpse generated files for each backend. Could it be something similar to what happens when you invoke `B r' (respool). You are prompeted for the backend to use. If you have more than one nnml then you are prompted for which one to use.
