Subject: [PATCH 4/7] README update from the stone age
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2005 20:45:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050920184544.14557.15273.stgit@zion.home.lan> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050920184513.14557.8152.stgit@zion.home.lan>

We have no options which the user can set in the Makefile. Only the
EXTRAVERSION, which is also useful in place of the "backup modules"
suggestion.

Hey! Can anybody tell me when we last had configuration options in the top
Makefile? Please?
