I disagree here. *.in files (like Makefile.in, foo.h.in or blah.pc.in) are file that are processed by configure. *.am files are the input files of automake and consequently *.ac files are the input files for autoconf. > I'm > not really sure there's a compelling reason to make this change. > That's right, besides maybe the feeling to do it right :). The only danger is that the autostuff folks tend to break compatibility even during minor version releases. I don't know, however, if they plan to drop support for configure.in.
