[Cook] cook+aegis question (builtin resolve)

[Jerry Pendergraft]

The resolve function uses search_list to control where it looks.
Unless you have specifically changed it, search_list includes the change
directory all the way up to the trunk baseline.

If the file does not exist, resolve returns the file (or path/file) as if
it were in the change.

You can do what you want with one minor change, try:

 	if [not [exists [resolve foo]]] then touch foo;
