There is really only one way to do it now, so your method must be very simular
to mine. Using a library with routines is more elegent that using open() and
puts(fn, ...); my library is much like a include system with a duplicate file
name scanner, and supports nesting dynamic/conditional includes. But you're
right, there is no reason to discuss this again.

Any existing contributions that used this method are now broken. Luckily it's
only a handful of them, or we'd be in trouble.

Rob seems a little suprized at why many people are still using v2.4 and older. I
made this list illistrate some reasons for him and to annoy you Juergen Luethje.
