Lintpkgsrc performs the same scan task, so it could benefit from your fast code. Currently pkglint uses an error-prone hand-written bmake parser, often leading to wrong results. It should be possible to test if bob is installed, and if so, call it instead of doing lintpkgsrc's own scan phase. Roland
