- I meant, "buildprogram -e", not "cplus -e".

- I could swear buildprogram -e worked...but at the moment I'm working on
- some non-MacApp stuff and don't have the drive space or patience to test it
- out, but I'm pretty damn sure I *never* threw out any dump files, but just
- threw the -e in there and everything worked ok. As long as the necessary
- make rules for the load files are in there somewhere, this should work.
-
- And if I'm wrong, well, it wouldn't be the first time... :-)
