Re: [buckminster-dev] fetcher questions

[Henrik Lindberg <henrik.lindberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, the thing that I did not understand at all was the options... But 
after looking on that wiki page, I found this example:
      <cs:property key="options" 
value="uncompress;flatten;include=*.html;include=*.c"/>

Which made things a lot clearer. I think I can document this now, and 
hope to get some help with reviewing the result.

I would love to include an example on "How to use fetcher and executor 
to manage non Java projects with Buckminster" if you have material to 
share. (BTW: The book is written using DocBook, so if you want to share 
material, either write it in DocBook, or keep the styling to a minimum).
