I'm not sure I understand. What is it that autogen does (sample input X leads to output Y when run like Z) and what is it that you want Automake (or another tool) to do (input X leads to output Y)? Do you intend to write a patch for Automake, or is this something purely external for one specific project, or to be more generally usable for all users of Autogen inside a project using Automake for building? Thanks, Ralf
