Actually, it's been on our wishlist for a long long time.
We never came around doing it.  not true :) I actually had a preliminary
version working but got caught up with something else and never went
back.

I don't really mind the way as it is.  I agree it's not as sexy as
a configure but it does the job.  If you run bbchkcfg.sh then you'll
see if you're missing something.  I may add the bbchkcfg.sh test
when runbb.sh is started such that those who have not run it before
will get the error messages if something is missing.

We may look into this later on but not before we will release 1.2 !
and then fix any bugs of 1.2 (hopefully very little) and then take
a break from BB.  And you should see our wishlist :) lots of
work ahead.  But we like it ! 

Finally, I'm missing

bsdi
  EXPR=

netbsd
  EXPR=

unixware
  EXPR=

Also I've got /sbin/expr and /usr/bin/expr for same IRIX versions,
are they the same ?

bye
