And yet another is to use symbolic links, for example a.ml -> a_optimized_impl.ml or a.ml -> a_reference_impl.ml (Note that when using "make", you have to be careful about stale object files after switching the symlink. It's a good idea to do a "make clean" at the same time.) -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u
