Is there anything to be gained by using autoconf and friends? Or asked another way, why would we *not* want to use autoconf and friends? I realize that it duplicates a lot of what charmonizer does. OTOH, automake can generate a fully-featured Makefile like Module::Build does for Perl (I know M::B doesn't create a file called 'Makefile' but the concept is the same). -- Peter Karman . http://peknet.com/ .
