In other words, I think the result of your patch should be buildable with or without ./configure in a separate directory if we are going to do this. Care to explain why it is too cumbersome to handle without ./configure magic? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
