Well, we discussed this issue at fairly great length at the various meetings, and every time the answer was "make the build system faster". I believe we even had a discussion about this very thing (not being able to build in subdirectories). This weekend's change should have almost no real

Just as an FYI -- this proposed fix didn't work. It apparently takes a great deal more to "undo" the Makefile consolidation. I worked on it for a couple of hours and finally just gave up. The last commits, of course, only made this situation worse as even more of the tree now is so heavily int

Yo folks While I generally find the new build methodology (i.e., reducing the number of makefiles) has little impact on me, I have now encountered one problem that causes a significant difficulty. In trying to work on a revised data packing system for the orte part of the branch, I now find t
