Re: Auto extraction of names from the LSB spec sources.
How hard would it be to have the dynamically built files always contain a
few comments that would describe their provenance so that random browsers
like myself would have a clue that they were generated from a database and
how?
This provenance data could include the date & time of generation, the
version of the script doing the generating (e.g. CVS $Id:$ or $Version:$
keywords? ).
