Skip, actually, IIRC. It was added in the last stages of 2.0 development, to auto-detect bsddb. However, I still think it should be a separate 'configure', in the Modules directory. Especially now that Andrew is practically checking in the distutils setup ;) The main configure can make an educated guess whether Python and distutils are available, and call configure with some passed-through options if not. It does depend on what the distutils setup does, though, and I'll shamefully admit that I haven't looked at that ;P -- Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net> Hi!
