Jim, just a suggestion, instead of a more complex foo:bar syntax, would it help instead to accept a directive to ./buildconf such as; --add-modules-path=foo where foo could be relative to aproot/modules/foo, or given as an abs path? If it's absolute, then we could still strip down to the actual directory name for vpath builds, e.g. --add-modules-path=/opt/org/foo would still build into aproot/modules/foo/mod_ule.o This way, once you have run ./buildconf with --add-modules-path, the config.m4 could elect to follow the usual most or all groupings or perform additional feature checks. If it's run at ./configure time, I suspect we would lose the ability to modify ap_config_auto.h settings. Bill
