Hey, I was doing some compiling yesterday, and noticed that "autogen.sh --help" clobbers your autogen.lastrun. My original thought was to change the code to fix the bug, but then I had an idea - make "--help" more useful. Thus, my idea is to add this to autogen.sh: my $pos = 0; for my $arg (@ARGV) { if ($arg eq '--help') { system ("./help.sh " . $ARGV[$pos+1]); exit; } $pos++; } and also add the attached help.sh file. Basically, it shows a short description for "autogen.sh --help", with a link to the wiki page and general overview. but you can also do "autogen.sh --help full" for everything, and "autogen.sh --help speed" for specific instructions about speed boosting. We can add additional sections to help.sh if we wanted to - perhaps notes re cgywin or other helpful docs. If no one has any objections, I'll push to master. Cheers, Josh
