[...] Thanks for explaining, and thanks for your enthousiasm for the build-improvemnts branch. I, too, was (pleasantly) surprised by your attempt and of course would like results available to people as soon as possible. But I fear that "pre-mature" testing with negative results might make people turn away. Or the contrary. Anyway, thank you! -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
