For sake of argument, what about the individuals, plus one called allknown, |
| 15 |
or majorcams, or some such? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Meanwhile, most USE_EXPAND work by expanding to all if the flag is unset. |
| 18 |
All or none, I believe it's worthwhile to keep USE_EXPAND behavior |
| 19 |
consistent, so unless we're going to change all the others to build none |
| 20 |
if they're unset, I'd say the package should build all possible if CAMERAS |
| 21 |
isn't set. |
