Thanks. :)

Also, don't worry, I am not misunderstanding you. Quite the contrary --
I do see your point about (some) external deps. We had to implement some
hacks in the past to support for example a system Mozilla, and that's
exactly where I am aiming at with my plans. I want to unify such hacks,
make it more easy to understand, and configurable. Also I want to extend
this mechanism once implemented to more external deps.

The exact details are not done yet, but I got a picture of it in my
head. ;)  Just let's reschedule this part of the discussion. You will be
noticed early, for some smoke-testing. And the result should make you
(even more) happy. ;)

Agreed. The default should be pretty much predictable (can you say
support?) and it isn't worth the effort for some lightweight thingies
like intltool anyway.

Thanks. :)  Now, the your-weight-in-beer question is, which commonly
known algorithm does it implement? ;-)

(Btw, I found that one sometimes needs to explicitly run it with a
newline added, like './sig; echo', to actually get the result not
overwritten by the shell prompt.)
