In addition to Russ' reply, it should be possible to use any make implementation (that roughly conforms to POSIX), so a dependency on, say, GNU make, would be stricter than necessary. For example, Debian also packages BSD make (as pmake) and that does just fine with files generated by automake. Cheers, Ralf
