Thanks for the info, but I'm unsure of how to take advantage of it.   
Do I need to do this once, or everytime I touch something in the  
source tree ?

Speaking of the source tree, it's not at all obvious why touching  
code in smlnj-lib, for example should require the whole shootin'  
match to be recompiled.  Isn't that what .cm is designed to prevent ??

Meanwhile, back at the computer, config/install.sh fixed it.  If I do  
the above, will I still need to run config/install.sh ?

So either way, happy days, I can compiler hack :-)
