Before I say anything else, I'd like to mention I love python (our website is written with mod-python!) and hate autoconf (one of my RAs spent ages fighting it when we were working on Ardour).
But...

Already have :)
No, we haven't. It's only under test.
Oh no! Left hand, right hand, not talking... :))
I know :) What I meant was Dougie will find HEAD is now based on scons.
Anyway, Dougie, if you're following this thread, don't be put off from
continuing to use autoconf/automake -- scons is only in HEAD.
I propose we get all of the automake stuff working again, and then use it for our work. The reason being that I suspect it'll be easier to make Mac ports fly. All of the fink stuff relies heavily on autoconf etc, being basically dpkg. Also, I'm just guessing now, but maybe a working autoconf system will be favoured by packagers (of course no developer in their right mind would prefer it even to being forced to enter the build lines manually. On a 75B serial line. With a toggle switch) who will all be jumping to release RG1 for red hat, debian, mandrake, etc etc etc.
It looks appealing, but for all we know it could yet prove worse than automake.
that would be quite hard, eh?
IMHO the bksys documentation is very limited.This frightened me away too. Although actually I quite like yellow text :)
I'd probably be more impressed by the scons/bksys system if I could get it
to build RG even once without stopping at every config.h.
The automake docs seem to be very comprehensive, if incomprehensible.
Anyway, I believe Dougie's completely fixed the automake/autoconf issues now, so it'd be a shame to waste it :)

PS: any Mac developers listening? Can we correspond about RG native for the Mac?
