By that reasoning, then configure and m4/* should not be in there either. I think when someone asked about this earlier you said you wanted to let people checkout and run configure without having to generate it. So, which is it? It has to be all-or-nothing and not halfway as it has been. If you are going to support configure without having to run autoreconf, then the configure helpers need to be there to address the problem that was reported. If you are going to require autoreconf, then configure will be overwritten and there is no reason to have it checked in. As the project leader, you can make this decision, but then I also expect you to make a new release very soon. -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
