Yup, I admit to some misunderstanding. It makes sense now. |

So what do you people think about my actual suggestion, which was to |
13 |
have an option like INSTALL_PROTECT (or maybe with a better name), |
14 |
corresponding to CONFIG_PROTECT, that if specified causes the named |
15 |
directories to be deleted from the package before merging it. An option |
16 |
corresponding to CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK is probably a good idea, too. |

A FEATURE flag would probably not be needed with this solution. |
