I maintained that functionality as-is. I didn't (yet) add any magic to other types (python should probably default to a special default CompileScript and InstallScript) but I maintained perl's magic as-is. If/when we go to a better/fuller-featured variants, type magic could be pulled from that presumably-new field (perhaps via % substitution into Type or somesuch). Anyway, pop by the type_langvers branch to see how I'm going about it. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
