That make sense.  All though m4 is

test5 > l /usr/local/bin/m4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 gerberb zenez 280524 Jul 23 2005 /usr/local/bin/m4

Which is not that big. I have it in my ~/.bin/ on my clients machines. You really need a good m4 for most things. Sendmail expecially. Also for the latest bind with the DNS security fix. I some times need bc as well.

I do not see anything really obvious, but below is config.mak.autogen

test5 > cat config.mak.autogen # git Makefile configuration, included in main Makefile # config.mak.autogen. Generated from config.mak.in:config.mak.append by configure.

OK.

So what do you think we need to have. I really do not see the need for __OPENSERVER__. Do you?
