Stepan and I had two different ideas: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2006-06/msg00009.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2006-06/msg00015.html Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
