Thanks, again, for creating Burrito!!!
I have been sporadically battling Vix/libvips compilation headaches with Burrito for months. Many weeks ago, I got it compiling with Burrito on two different Fedora computers after painstakingly handcrafting a complicated (and, it turned out, brittle) env var configuration. Weeks later, one of those computers stopped compiling Burrito. Later still, the other was still able to compiled it using Burrito, but at least one of the NIFs stopped working.
I just spent another day battling this with help from Claude Sonnet 4.5. I now have it compiling and the generated binary working properly on both machines.
One (small) step in this battle was tweaking Burrito to allow me to skip NIF recompilation of specific NIFs.
I'm now building my project against this slightly modified version of Burrito, which allows specifying a list of NIFs you don't wish to recompile. I want to share this as a PR because it could possibly help someone else.
I won't be insulted in any way if the project isn't interested. Please feel free to modify and/or reject this PR.
Cheers,
James
