- ==============================
- Ofcourse some sort of standard configuration tool to modify the hardcoded
- paths (and other things as well) is very welcome. It enhances the flexibi-
- lity of the system. And I don't mean make+compiler+assembler+linker+...,
- but one simple tool, that doesn't need a lot of resources.
- ==============================
-
- It should be possible, with GNU anyway, to modify the executable by
- using the symbol-table. It wouldn't work once the symbol table was
- stripped, but once configured on your personal system you could then
- strip the symbol table if you like.
-
- A simple utility to just list string variables and allow them to be
- edited, with perhaps a fancy GEM interface to make things easier. By
- choosing standard identifier names one could quickly find the right
- variable to change.
-
- The problem here is that you would need one binary configuration program
- for GNU C, one for Lattice, one for DRI, or whatever other symbol-table
- formats there are, because I think they are all different.
