over the past days (and I may be off by a mile here), the current set of Caudium/PExt modules (ab)use some or other pike aclocal.m4 macros in an aclocal/automake context, somehow leading to the uncomfortable situation with the debian packages' redistribution of those internals to an overly exposed location.

Is that the case (leading to the small skirmish conflict of whether the bug is in pike, or in those modules), or is there no particular rational argument behind keeping "pike -x module" in its current broken state (except for "I am not familiar with this, do not use it myself and haven't had the time to look at it closely yet", as I believe Marek has almost said) for the benefit of those modules?

(I've really been trying to understand Marek's point of view, despite not being fully educated on automake and friends.)

The one and only way to compile Pike modules that should be endorsed and/or developed is "pike -x module". That's it. If it doesn't work it. If it requires the entirety of Pike, deal with it.

That's about all I have to say.
