In the definitions there's the one for the prerequisite library <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ImprovingPractices#Prerequisitelibrary>. In reading that, and the places where it's mentioned, I think we can generalize that to "prerequisite component" to account for prerequisite tools. -- AFAIK most of the critical tools have accompanying tests now and hence we can put some guards against really bad things happening -- Or add a "prerequisite tool" concept and some procedure for how those are handled differently from "prerequisite libraries". -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
