</color>Actually, imputil was designed to be used either generally or specifically. In other words, a package can install a link in the chain just for its contents. The hook can pass on the request as soon as it realizes that the request is not "his". The overhead involved is probably insignificantly different from having complex tests in a single generalized hook. <nofill> - Gordon
