The top level makefile was just a proof-of-concept. If you need a top
level makefile, then write one. The one i supplied was only intended to
show that the tree builds.

So, the things you expect others to do include:
make the top level makefile useful (clean, distclean, debug build, etc)

I'll do that one if i get time this week.

fix the CFLAGS in all the app/lib makefiles

Like i said previously, do not force unnecessary CFLAGS onto the package builder. If you need special flags add it to your configure line, ./configure CFLAGS="-Wall -I/blah -fPIC" --prefix=/usr --bindir=/bin etc... A good place for these would be in the top level Makefile, which would be a hard coded makefile.

add the dispol/dismod makefile

I'm doing this one

add the ruby swig support
add make test targets to all lib Makefiles


I'll try to do these this week, but I cannot test it, so be warned.

Anything else?

Nope.

I'm not adverse to the patch set, and when/if we ack and merge it, it will be our responsibility to maintain but I'm worried about it not being completed before that. I'm not an autotools expert (or even a beginner) and neither are the other maintainers. As such I don't see much motivation to finish up the patch set for you in order to get it in a mergeable state (and this isn't abnormal for opensource projects, try dropping an incomplete patch on lkml and see where it gets you).

Surprised, a little, so I'll try my best to help with anything I can, but time is not on my side.

Updates are in the mix, coming to a mailing list near you! :)
