Certainly, it doesn't matter much for APRUTIL because it has a very simple configure (thankfully, APR takes care of the bulk). I can see the benefit for Apache, but even then... it isn't like I run configure every hour and want it to scream. Hell... the bulk of the time is in the tests -- not the output. IOW, I find the AC_OUTPUT replacement scheme used by httpd to be of marginal benefit. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
