I also don't like the way the configure script is written. This is our first attempt with autoconf generated makefile's and hence the scripts have not matured. We would welcome any help that we could get in rewriting the configure.in and Makefile.in's for Xerces-C. Also, most platform/compiler specific flags are currently spread between src/Makefile.incl and runConfigure. I would like to consolidate them into src/configure.in and src/Makefile.in So, anyone with past experience with these tools, please volunteer your expertise. rahul
