Re: lts.conf LIKE loop potential

Sounds to me like the solution is not to limit the number of LIKE
statements, but rather to put a conditional statement in getltscfg that
keeps track of which [] entries have been processed, and ignores any LIKE
parameter that was already processed.  So, for example:

[ws001]
  LIKE = ws002

[ws002]
  LIKE = ws003

[ws003]
  LIKE = ws002
  LIKE = ws004

[ws004]
  foo = bar


When getltscfg processes ws001, it should say:

1. process ws002
2. process ws003
3. ws003 says to process ws002, but that's been processed already, so ignore
4. process ws004
