I'll consider it, but in retrospect I'm doubtful that it should have been included in 3.1 in the first place. (Yes, I know I argued in favor at the time.) However, I now can't see how make DESTDIR=/foo/bar/baz install differs in end result from make make prefix=/foo/bar/baz/usr/local install provided that the same options were passed to "configure" in each case. It just seems we've scattered references to $DESTDIR in a whole lot of files (introducing several bugs that had to be fixed later along the way) without actually achieving anything new. If you can show me something substantially different that DESTDIR is the best way to handle, I might swing back the other way again. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
