I admit to have looked at it a few times, but never really figured out what it would do for me. (Plus, having to enter your name and having everything logged isn't exactly what draws testers.) A few minutes ago I just tried it out with a macro that I already had written, but I must conclude that the interface is extremely limited and hard to understand, and the macro I got as output is not exactly pretty. To start, the "half-line description" input field is too short, and it automatically prepends the word "whether", which is not what I want. The AC_DEFINE description string also reads strangely. The macro uses dnl comments when # should be used. Changequote is going to get you into trouble with Akim. I don't know what this $ag_poplang variable is supposed to do, but I've never felt the need for it in hand-written macros. If I just want to compile something I can just write AC_TRY_COMPILE (or AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, or whatever it's called these days) myself. If I'm looking for something more complicated I need to do my own programming anyway or resort to an archive. Just my impression. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED]
