I've already applied most of your patches so far, some with my own tweaks/modifications. I've opted not to apply the patch to Makefile.in.in to make src writable, because I'd prefer to have a broken make distcheck than a falsely working one. :) I also removed the realclean target (may decide to add it back in at some point), as Automake has, IMO, more than enough *clean targets, and leaving it out keeps the Makefile.am's cleaner. I moved sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion from EXTRA_DIST to wget_TEXINFOS, as this allowed "make doc" to work (it accidentally worked for you with "make distcheck", because "make distcheck" built it for the distribution; "make" wasn't working. I also took some liberties with the ChangeLogs, reducing much of the work done to, essentially, "Makefile.am: converted from Makefile.in for automake", or something similar. You can see my current progress at http://hg.addictivecode.org/wget/automakify (get a copy of Mercurial and "hg clone" from there to get a repository). If you could produce further patches from that foundation, I'd appreciate it. If getting Mercurial is inconvenient, I've temporarily enabled tarballing at that location, so you can just fetch the tree by clicking a bz2 or gz link; however, Mercurial is recommended, as you'll be able to inspect the history of changes, and, if you use Mercurial to track your own modifications, it'll be that much easier for me to pull or import them from you. :) - -- Micah J.
