http://sourceware.org/automake/automake.html#CVS I'll continue down the current path of checking in updates until we are at the automated bootstrapping point. I guess it won't be to conveniencing that its painfree on users to remove generated files until it truly is pain free. BTW, on all projects I've worked on, I've usually commited to making sure configure.ac and Makefile.am's work with widest range of autotools as possible; even when those tools are known buggy. So far I've not had much issues with supporting +/- 2 years or more worth of versions. In other words, keeping it pain free to a wide swath of developers. Chris
