Laurent,

Is -DEXECLINE_OLD_VARNAMES still possible when compiling execline?
If so, maybe it should be mentioned (I find the old names more
readable, and besides there are scripts that would need to be changed,
always a possible source of mayhem when the scripts perform critical
functions!)

Maybe the new behaviour of s6-setuidgid should be optional, via some
command line flag? Note also that the first paragraph of "Notes" in
http://skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-envuidgid.html is now wrong.

The documentation in http://skarnet.org/software/conf-compile.html
suggests that conf-home should not be touched; but the default makes
the existence of /package/... mandatory, which is somewhat unexpected
and shocking when using statically compiled binaries. A few comments
about this would make it easy to use in less standard setups.

Cheers

Jorge
