Yeah, having the ability to specify an optional wrapper script, that receives the name of the normal interpreter and all the arguments the normal interpreter would have been given, sounds like the ultimate in flexibility at a minimum of xml. It comes at the expense of pushing the burden of flexibility onto the shoulders of whoever writes the wrapper script, but that seems okay to me. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enig5E406A11F16EBD59D344F00E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at home.comcast.net/~ericblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAku/nGgACgkQ84KuGfSFAYCW5wCfWhViMHqeuTzd8/aMItKjPNET oxcAoLKl+56cInZG4NpQl5SK14glfQfP =NogR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig5E406A11F16EBD59D344F00E--
