I read somewhere, can't remember where exactly, that you should not enable this flag globally, and I agree. The effect varies from one package to another, it's not like jpeg, which has predictable and largely consistent effects on all packages that use it. For example, with server/client packages, it usually disables building of the server part, whereas you have already found it does something completely different with vim. Check to see what it does on an individual package and then enable it in package.use. --=20 Neil Bothwick Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I will remember.
