Refactor configure.ac
---------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1437
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1437
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build System
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Paul Joseph Davis
Working on COUCHDB-1426 today has made me hate life a little bit more. Our
build system shouldn't be this complex. Mostly this has to do with us not using
m4 in a way that doesn't lead to horrendous spaghetti code. New plan is to
create a number of new files like:
* m4/couch_erlang.m4
* m4/couch_icu_drv.m4
* m4/couch_js.m4
* m4/couch_snappy.m4
* m4/couch_windows.m4 (maybe? not sure how hard this will be to extract)
Given these files the plan will be to make configure.ac just run a top-level
macro from each file. Hopefully we can then have much cleaner definitions
through out the configure stuff so that when something breaks it'll be more
obvious why and where to look for an answer.
