Great, thanks. May I suggest adding a third string parameter to select
running the autodep script before or after the postinstall scripts?

I haven't done anything serious yet since it seemed that the discussion
on what exactly this feature should do in setup.exe wasn't quite
finished. I did find where to plug the matcher into, but haven't yet
made up my mind how and where to collect the information from both the
autodep stanza in setup.ini and then from running the matcher(s) into.
In any case I don't think I'll have time to do anything before the
weekend, so if you implement something earlier this week that is OK with
me.
Regards,
Achim.
