The APR changes include changing the directory name from helpers to build and the filename from buildconf to buildconf.sh, which pretty much eliminates the commit diff. The nice thing is that it will be easy to resurrect the old buildconf if needed. I could make the changes one-by-one, but it would effectively double my work because none of the interim changes would survive. > >... > > * make each "top-most" buildconf.sh set up the subdirectory configures > > directly with autoheader and autoconf, rather than running each of > > their buildconf.sh scripts.

Yes, they go in rules.mk.in, but the $(VARS) and @INCLUDE_RULES@ need to be added to the individual Makefile.in files. ....Roy
