Are there any plans for a new release of automake?
There is an old problem, mentioned at
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake/1999-05/msg00011.html
with the choice of AR for C++ libraries. We distribute a
patch (appended) that appears not to affect anything
else but allows us to change AR to not have "cru". Would
sure be nice to have this in the official distribution that
folks have.
Thanks.....John Cary
