right; but to do it we need make configure puts into config.status (or as
init part of running config.modules.sh) information that modules may need to
make decision. Using cache variables was big mistake to start with :(
that was one reason I thought about those config.snippets.
doing that also allows to simply put commands for every module in it's own
configure section using init commands that *do* depend on cache variables,
like
AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS([zsh/terminfo], [
link='if test x$have_tigetstr = xyes; then
if test x$shared_tigetstr = xyes; then
echo either
else
echo static
fi
else
echo either;
fi
'
echo name=zsh/terminfo modfile=zsh/terminfo.mdd link=$link auto=yes load=no
>> ${CONFIG_MODULES}], [
have_tigetstr=$ac_cv_func_tigetstr
shared_tigetstr=$zsh_cv_shared_tigetstr
CONFIG_MODULES=$CONFIG_MODULES
])
where the last argument does initialization.
This can't be generated dynamically because tag (first argument) must be
static :(
So the options currently are to either put all needed variables from all
modules into config.modules.sh or run it out of configure.
