Hehe, we're now three (late entry by Lars Stavholm), so you better be
specific in the times to come.  You can emphasize me by using Coffee-Lars,
BTW ;)  Hmm, maybe that's just a Norwegian nick/expression...

So, has anyone implemented binary search in bourne shell?  I'm asking
because I mentioned to Akim that it would be a lot faster.  I figured out
later that bugs may come and go throughout the history of Automake, and
you're really just interested in when it toggled last time.  Binary search
would easily fail in such a case.  Can't compete with the cool-factor
though :).
