IMHO it's fine to build few extra parts by default to test them while we are still developing. Those parts can always be removed for release versions. At least perl6 (and imcc which it needs) could be added to default build, and perhaps also scheme if it's going to be first fully working language. -- Markus Laire 'malaire' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
