Don't we already have enough CONFIG options? I agree that CONFIGurability should be minimal only as far as essential functionality is concerned. What is proposed here doesn't look essential to me. (Essential in order to support a broad range of hardware or of usage scenarios, that is.) Hence it should be off by default, if it is added at all. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- =--- =--== http://arcgraph.de/sr/
