Random historical note -- back in the day, I wrote a bunch of Metaconfig changes to make it so perl could be built in an autoconf tree :-). This was for a Cygnus product. That is why perl appears in here. Paolo> * What's this? Paolo> gnuserv prms release send-pr target-examples target-qthreads prms is the old name of gnats; send-pr is a bug-submitting script for gnats. Both dead. target-qthreads was from a very early port of gcj. It is a cooperative threads package based on longjmp. I think this was dead before libjava was imported into the public GCC tree. Tom
