Bruno and I are still working on it with a test suite. We want the file output and stdout output to be the same before we recommend using it. Then we won't get many bug reports for the same issue and we can test that new changes don't break expected behavior. With that in mind, I was curious to see how it worked and figured I should share. $ time env GNULIB_TOOL_IMPL=sh ./bootstrap ... ./bootstrap: done. Now you can run './configure'. real 0m53.390s user 0m26.363s sys 0m35.609s $ time env GNULIB_TOOL_IMPL=py ./bootstrap ... ./bootstrap: done. Now you can run './configure'. real 0m13.753s user 0m11.671s sys 0m1.076s Then diff'ing the two directories the Python version mangles .gitignores, which I haven't gotten around to fixing yet. Then has an extra AC_REQUIRE([AM_PROG_CC_C_O]) and a few whitespace diffs. Seems like a good sign, but I would hold off until Bruno and I better test it. :) Collin
