All of our internal testers use LNT. LNT behind the scenes just calls the Makefiles appropriately. So it would be impossible to get rid of the makefile execution without gutting LNT as well = p. I will let Daniel comment on the rest of it.

I think it's just a matter of "standardizing" who calls the makefiles, not change any significant behaviour in the test-suite. cheers, --renato -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
