when I broke the rule, it wasn't that I'm so sure.
My main reason was that it is a bit more complicated to submit it to review
as it takes two steps (merge the two rules in the makefile, then change the
merged rule).  So I decided to check it in as two commits, with the risk
that if any of you find a bug, we will have to check it in separately.

I perfectly agree with both Jim and Arnold.  But what would be my life
without breaking a rule occasionally?

BTW, when I get to the big bang with configure.ac and autogen.sh, I will
probably do it directly in the CVS, and you will test it from there.

I see no reasonable way to mail this as a patch.  (cvs diff doesn't
display removed files, right?)  Or should I tar the whole tree and put it
somwhere for testing?

Comments welcome.

Regards,
