Well, I had @am_reldir@ in my original patch, so obviously I'm not totally against the am_ prefix, but I did think it was too long. You didn't really say in what way using @ was bad? This might be the time to revisit that, so that we can come full circle on this issue? :-) But seriously, why would it be bad to use @ for something that is not going to be seen by config.status anyway? Because grepping the source becomes 'difficult'? Trouble documenting? Users expecting to be able to AC_SUBST? What? You also suggested %percent% way back when but didn't like it. How bad was that? What about §reldir§ (not ascii, so I guess not) or [reldir]? Are square brackets legit in a Makefile for anything? If we do go with the prefix, do we really want to advertice so obviously? I mean, {AM_D}, come on... :-) I don't really care, just pick something that works. And stick to it. Cheers, Peter
