R-alpha: Can we "require" 1) GNU make, 2) Perl -- for help "compiling"?
...anged.
Currently, I believe that this would be much easier / nicer if I could
require GNU make (which all Linuxers have anyway) for doing these.
I could then use things such as $(shell: ...) $(wildcard: ...), etc.
Is this ok with all of you?
2) Even more extreme: Can we require __Perl__ to be available for most
(for all who want to build help/html/tex files themselves)?
If yes, we could think of enhancing the "compilation" of man files
quite a bit, using perl instead of the
sed .. | m4 | sed ..
pipe which we currently need.
What do you think?
