Erich; I did the change while fixing the bugs for new haserl *and* because I understood you've been pretty dissatisfied having files related to webconf hidden in tarballs. It sounded reasonable to me, the new layout is inline with other packages - e.g. "etc". It was meant to easy further work on it. I'm sorry if I misunderstood your suggestions. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
