This custom-build-system-du-jour thing has been attempted before, and it always leads to portability issues, packaging issues, and ultimately a return to auto* tools. When somebody makes a set of tools that can match auto* in terms of portability (and no, I don't just mean Linux!), static/shared library support, etc., there's a hope of switching. Until then, we've made very clear which versions of the auto* tools work. Use them. Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
