Re: [9fans] A newbie question...

[Pietro Gagliardi]

Autotools increases portability by 57%, but then decreases  
portability by 75% (mv -f, ls -i not available in Plan 9), decreases  
usability by 750%, and decreases sanity by 7500%. I wanted to  
contribute to AbIWord but it took me a long time before I got it  
built. :-( Then I discovered troff in the back of Kernighan/Pike and  
am much happier :-)
