Hmm, I'll have to guard against that possibility.

Yes, that was the idea.

I forgot about the build of Unpreload. That tool is so trivial that I'd
best replace it with a shell script.

That's the eventual plan. I vaguely remembered your effort to write a
configuration script and thought I'd write something that could potentially be
machine generated.

I sometimes write sloppy code...

Yeah, only the MW build uses data resources. The warning is harmless.

That's the tool where I only had a MW build. You can safely replace it with an
empty text file.

Cool! Did you ever try the old build system?

Oh yes, I should have mentioned that.

That works for miniperl, but might fail for perl itself.
