| OK, we are using a different definition of 'make' Jirka :-)

Well, I was a little confused on this point too.

One definition of "make" that I thought we were talking about was how
to build a distribution from the raw CVS sources. Yes, I'd like to
make that easier, but I don't think that has a very broad impact.

Another definition is how to build a result document from some
sources. I'd like to make that easier too, but there are a lot of
variables given the variety of platforms and distributions out there
and the number of customizations and stylesheet processors, etc.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
