Hi Daniel,

yeah, i allready thought about a generic utility module. The proposed module 
could be a good foundation for this. I implemented functions because the 
module should be working in 0.9.5 too. But i'll look into this pseudo- 
variables stuff. Hopefully in the near future i can develop for >= 1.2 only.

By the way, is there any formal process to apply for an svn account? I have 
some small documentation patches and the "Openser on Sun Ultrasparc T1 
Processors - Mismatch architecture detection" Makefile patch in the queue 
too..

Cheers, have a good weekend,

Henning
