It already does this, sorry about being so terrible about the details! (I kind of thought of that as an implementation detail, but now I see it was important to tell people). 'configure' is a sh script, and 'configure.mlc' is the ml file. I used a funny suffix so it wouldn't conflict with configure.ml - probably I should just invent a name like configure_out.ml The sh script is a little bare, because it has only been used on 3 or 4 systems, and it doesn't really have to do much. > Hi Kenneth, > Any chance that you could make a more standard distribution of ocamlconf, > like say a gzipped tarball that the darcs deprived can use? > -- Brian Sure; I didn't do this because I didn't want to deceive anyone about that they were getting :-) Now that I see the level of interest, I'll package it up into a release.
