Except that it doesn't actually use an XML parser but some odd XML hack, so if you hand-craft your Makefile.xml, it'll fail eight times out of ten with an obscure error message because you dared to use something that's not in the tiny subset of XML that it actually supports. Such as, oh I don't know, line breaks inside tags, or more than one space between attributes or something. (Or whitespace between tags.) Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <philip.new...@gmail.com>
