Thanks for the heads up. We saw both of your commits. There was
a flurry of helpful comments on the format of your ChangeLog that
you might have missed:

Note, this is just a baseline for further development.  Many of the
necessary config macros are not yet included in the branch.

I haven't tested it on any platform other than Mac OS X;

not all config

thorough review as

development.

Once I get a successful 'distcheck', I'll create this branch in the

stdcxx/branches/autotools directory. The baseline for this

branch will

only contain a scant few config macros initially along with

plenty of

guidance on writing the rest.  :)

Sounds good to me. Unless someone objects in the next, say, 48 hours
go ahead and create the branch at your leisure. I assume you'll be
branching off of trunk (as opposed to an existing branch).

I have some code that I'd like to contribute to the Apache STDCXX

Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool).

Would a branch in the Subversion stdcxx/branches directory be the

appropriate place to check in this code?

If you're still developing the code we can create a

branches/autotools

branch for this work. But if it's already finished and

tested on all

platforms we might want to think about rolling it into 4.3 instead
(once it has been created).

Thanks.
