There's no need to, because the behaviour you reported is a bug. For some 
reason, whenever I write a regular expression, I forget that it's greedy. In 
the case above, V2 was thinking that <link>shared:<linkflags>-DEF is the 
condition... 

The fix and the test are in CVS now (you might have to wait while it appears 
in anonymous CVS).

BTW, is "pal.tw" your real name? I'm asking because I'd like to acknoledge 
persons who reported bugs in CVS commit logs, and if you'd like different 
name to be put there, just tell me.

Thanks,
