I don't believe that the config files need to be in the top level directory. You can place those elsewhere since Autoconf & Automake can be told where to find the tools. The only claim I have seen is that the top Makefile.am/Makefile.in has to be at the top of the source tree. That only makes for two files in the top directory, for a total of three once the source tree is configured. If you are exceedingly lazy, you might want to look for a new line of work. :-) Bob ====================================== Bob Friesenhahn [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen
