Something relevant to your project. For example, gnulib uses gl_, coreutils uses cu_, libtool uses lt_, m4 uses M4_. It doesn't have to be limited to 2 alphabetics; but it should be your own prefix rather than stomping on ac_ (autoconf) or am_ (automake), so that your package isn't hurt if the autotools later make use of that variable name in a different way. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
