I'll be delighted to help by clarifying things or making sensible small improvements. We should structure things so there is a clear API between whatever automake needs and subunit providing it (this allows subunit to continue to improve without automake needing to change futher, and vice versa). I would offer to make large changes if needed, but realistically, work is in the middle of a crucial project that is going to be going on for ~ 3-4 more months, so I am somewhat time constrained :). That said, Jelmer Vernooij may well - he has written a number of Perl subunit tools in the samba project, and they are likely to be at least somewhat relevant to whatever automake needs are here. -Rob
