size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>And so far as I know, the breadth vs depth argument doesn’t hold, because in most installations you want _<i><span

No matter what technique you use, it will be first one wins the prize which isn’t necessarily going to be what you want (or last one if you use –f with the symlink command). I think that’s why the custom of naming them “uffi-cffi-compat.asd” evolved in the first place, wasn’t it? So it was completely clear in a linear collection of asd files?<o:p></o:p></span></font></pre><pre><font
