I find this all natural (but it's not my decision). On the other hand we have some other features (like e.g. the source_group stuff) that depend on generators and compilers. One thing that I would only call "fallout" of such a thing, but that I would love to see is a way to get the compiler version for the currently active (C, C++, Fortran, ASM) compilers. That would probably help with your use case, too, when you can determine the version and show a sensible error message if the compiler version is too old. Eike
