> Again, you guys are faster than me ... the SPKG.txt is not checked in in
the hg repo, under src/ there are superfluous tilde-files (aclocal.m4~ and
config.h.in~) and there is the superfluous "autom4te.cache" directory new
in this spkg (compared to e.g. the pynac-0.1.12 spkg).
I've often wondered if autom4te.cache is superfluous or not. I have
purposly copied that. If you look in the directory, there is usually 4
files. At the top of '''one''' of them (I forget which), it says it may be
safely removed. There is no such comment at the top of the other 3 files.
Note the directory is created by autoconf - not when runs the configure
script. Hence for safety, I've tended to copy it under the assumption it
can't do any harm, the size is small, and there is nothing there to
indicate it is safe to remove it.
I will ask on the autoconf list about this some time.
