It was an example of optional dependencies. shishi has the same optional dependencies issue. > I'm using > the M4 macro below in other projects.

My problems with it currently: - Getting one thing from it, gets you the whole load of it. readline -> getline -> getdelim While I'm happy, when readline is not there, I don't need emulation for it. - I still haven't moved to automake (aclocal a few days ago at least) for historic reasons. Which means hand-adding all the cruft (cruft I haven't asked for in the first place) - There's so much stuff in gnulib (and autoconf-archive), that *could* be useful to replace _working_ code, there's just too much of it. ;) Thanks for the notice anyway! :) Elrond _______________________________________________ Help-shishi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-shishi
