Re: autodefining classes of copied files

[Brian C. Hill]

        Hi Dalibor,

        You can do this with AutoDefine (though I am having trouble
getting it work at the moment), but it still involves a little more
verbosity. You don't need to have individual copy statements w/ defines
for each file, but you do need a separate AutoDefine statement for each
one. It is am improvement, but it still makes a configuration look a
little busy.
