The autoconf package itself can server as an example for this; it's a Perl program, too. The gist of it is that you write your own make rules with sed and friends.

So what you have in mind is certainly possible but not the usual method. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
