Why does this modify anything in the enclosing scope? I used to run cmakeboot.py as a completely separate process just so I could be sure that reading variables wouldn't pollute anything else. But if it's going to run as part of configure, before the RDict is written to a file, then it needs a way to read.</div>

now if your silly cmakeboot stuff doesn't work then variables like OMAKE are never defined in the generated petscvariables file and so nothing can get built.</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>How can cmakeboot.py read variables without modifying _anything_?</div>
