FYI, the patch that adds "@/looks/like/a/unix/path" to the list of stuff that MSYS automatically converts to C:/msys-inst-root/dos/format/ was accepted and committed a yesterday. So it looks like MSYS-1.0.16 will include this feature...but we don't really have a schedule for when that will be released. > since the manual forking conversion is so much slower than the > automatic command line conversion.

So, right now on MSYS you still manually convert @unix-path to @dos-format, right? If so, once MSYS-1.0.16 is released should libtool just assume that support is present and require msys-latest, or would an additional feature test be required? -- Chuck
