Excellent work, Martin (and any others involved). No more hangs, and the more consistent and complete messages at the different levels of verbose are great. The "why is a path included or excluded" messages at -vv should cut the traffic on this list by about 25% (I wish I'd had them a couple of weeks ago). I've been testing it all morning with a somewhat Byzantine set of perl generated options and so far no problems. (And it may be my imagination, but it even seems faster). Thanks again, Dave Madole
