Re: Suggestion: File to use when compile

[Tony Carolla <carolla@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't believe changing SEU would be a huge deal (for those that
still use it).  What we are talking about here is modifying the
compile module, either way.  You either do it your way and have it run
arbitrary commands are do arbitrary 'stuff' at the top of the source
code, in another specially defined compiler directive section of code,
or you build on what you already have, in the header spec, and/or the
ExtFile() keywords.  I would think that, looking forward, it makes
more sense to build on what's already there.

Either way, you're talking about modifying the compiler.
