I think such a thing would be good for 2 things: 1- maintain a CVS tag pointing at the last-known-good (well, known good for your particular test enviornment, of course). So people like Alan can simply follow this tag. 2- auto-detect cases where bootstrap is necessary. Once detected, the script could adding a special thingy somewhere (e.g. a file emacs/admin/need-bootstrap) so that "make" automatically does "make bootstrap" for you when facing this problem. -- Stefan
