      Yes, because you never provided code that does such customization w/o opening up the server to denial of service (or worse) attacks. (insert emoticon)

        DOS attacks? This (looks like it) is a straight text substitution. I provide a list of however many linker types I want with a parameter for the stuff between linker:// and |. When I use foo://, you look up foo:// in my list and substitute, as appropriate. If foo:// doesn't exist, it's handled as it would be default.

        Maybe I'm missing something, but that shouldn't open you up to a DOS ...
