I don't have the Rob> code around now, but IIRC I sent a proof-of-concept patch to the list. I looked at this. I think it is missing one of the major features I'd like out from `import', namely the ability to have targets like `subdir/clean' and `subdir/all'. I think doing this requires the bulk of the work, since it means a lot of code generation changes in automake. I'd be delighted to be proven wrong :-) Tom
