It totally pollutes the top level of my project. Heh.... Autoconf/automake are positively restrained and minimalist compared to gnulib! [Which creates vast quantities of fileş with no particular pattern, some of which are source files (and so must be included in the project), others of which are dev/build-time trash... even writing a .gitignore file for a gnulib'd project is a hugely fiddly and frustrating exercise...] -miles -- Resign, v.
