It's a tradeoff. With two copies, there are two copies to maintain separately. With one copy, that copy is harder to maintain than either of the two separate copies. Which is easier? It depends on the case. For strftime it's probably better to have a single source, as the incompatibilities between glibc and Emacs are small and are not intentional. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
