Is is possible to make it a build time switch so many folks can beta test
it for us, so to speak? I'd certainly be willing to test it out a bit,
but we don't have time to test it before 7.3.3 comes out.
That would allow us to basically test the deferred triggers in a
relatively stable code base (7.3) on semi-production machines (i.e. the
ones running batch files at night and such) long before 7.4 goes beta.
Or is it too complex or ugly to put something like that into configure and
the code? Just a thought.
