I've often thought that the directory layout supported by the GNU coding standards (and by extension, autoconf and automake) was both incomplete and constraining. I discussed this with Richard years ago and was unable to convince him. In the interim I have learned more and I now believe even what I was originally suggesting would not be enough. I'm also of the belief that whenever "significant" releases of autoconf or automake are made, all FSF-distributed software should quickly adopt these new release, if for no other reason than for the improved platform support and consistent packaging/installation support. But I digress... H _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
