Fascinating. Is it in the CVS? It's not jumping out at me.

That much I've figured out, but I appreciate these helpful suggestions.
The missing part was how to generate setup.ini without all the
setup.hints. I knew that you had to do it somehow, but I can't find it in
the CVS. So, should I chop up your setup.ini and give it back to you as
setup.hints (or just use locally)? or is your current solution better and
shareable?
Thanks,
