Why not just
enable_dependency_tracking=yes
I don't want to enable this if the --disable-dependency-tracking has been
explicitly specified, I just want to change the default (depending on a
different flag.) The following seems to do what I want
if test "x$enable_dependency_tracking" = "x"; then
enable_dependency_tracking=yes
fi
Is it problematic or non-portable for some reason?
Thanks for all your help.
