Eg: bash# config SPOTTISVAX Removing old directory ../../compile/SPOTTISVAX This is *extremely* annoying, since it takes me nearly an hour to rebuild on my 386. Naturally the man page makes no mention of this misfeature. -- Richard -- Satan himself, in a sermon preached from the pulpit of North Berwick church, comforted his many servants by assuring them that no harm could befall them "sa lang as their hair wes on, an sould newir latt ane teir fall fra thair ene". - J G Frazer, The Golden Bough
