I agree completely.

Actually, Axiom's ./configure is not the standard autoconf type of script. It is just something quickly cobbled together that really does very little. If you have some experience with using autoconf then your help creating a proper ./configure for Axiom would be greatly appreciated. :) Regards, Bill Page. _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
