[Cook] find the cookbook up the path?

[Susanne Oberhauser]

Hi ,

in the spirit of recursive make considered harmfull (which I share)
I'd like to have just one top level cookbook and I'd like to have cook
walk up the directory tree and use that if I'm somewhere below in the
directory structure of my project and request cooking there.


   / # find -ls top
   top/Howto.cook
   top/sub1/
   top/sub1/file1
   top/sub1/file2
   top/sub1/file3
   top/sub1/subsub1/
   top/sub1/subsub1/file1
   top/sub1/subsub1/file2
   top/sub1/subsub2/
   top/sub1/subsub2/file1
   top/sub1/subsub2/file2

   / # cd top/sub/subsub;  work on files here;
   top/sub/subsub # cook
   cook: found cookbook in ../..
   cook: changind working directory there und using that cookbook
   ...


Is there some way to get this without adding a Howto.cook file to each
directory?
