This slightly overlaps what Jacob has been working on with his schema for our autobuilds, wrapping up my own work and then turning to his efforts to see where we have some good synergies to exchange.
One thing that has stood out, but I never claimed I had much skill in the unix build schema (now other committers put me to shame on win32, and I clean up most everyone else's autocrud messes, odd... eh?) So I left it alone, but this seems silly now... On Unix, what about LICENSE and NOTICE (perhaps README and CHANGES in the process?) Is there a reason, after insisting loudly that the first two must be replicated, that we don't deposit them somewhere in the build $(TARGET)? Opening this up for discussion, 1) should we? and 2) where to? Cheers, Bill
