I would go a bit further. One nice properties of plugins is that they have a more restrictive API. That should help us to get the code a bit more maintainable. Olatunji's work is a very nice example. For example, to make mudflap a plugin he had to remove the occurrences of "if (flag_mudflap)" and make mudflap use the existing generic varpool. > > Diego. > Cheers, -- Rafael Avila de Espindola Google | Gordon House | Barrow Street | Dublin 4 | Ireland Registered in Dublin, Ireland | Registration Number: 368047
