Hi. I have pushed the attached patch. It should be completely backwards compatible, or there is a bug, so please test this. It adds two new variables to allow both developers and users to influence the valgrind options used. You may want to re-read the manual, I updated it to assume people use the parallel automake test harness today. Developers may want to use 'LOG_COMPILER=$(LOG_VALGRIND)' instead of 'LOG_COMPILER=$(VALGRIND)' in your Makefile.am, to make it easier for end-users to modify the options passed to valgrind. The old style still works fine, and in the same way as before. The reason for the change is to enable end-users to be able to change VALGRINDFLAGS during a 'make check' phase if they want. /Simon
