I'm unable to contribute much in the way of code because I can't easily sign the ASF contributor's agreement, but I am definitely willing to volunteer to help with the autoconf work and with testing it. I'm no expert, but I'm learning and have managed to pick up the basics. This is a *major* nightmare to deal with for me. The people asking "why" have no idea how bad Xerces looks to some people because of the lack of proper configure support. I could say the same about openssl, of course. ;-) But one thing at a time... -- Scott --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
