It's better than both libtool (clearly very broken) and automake (which creates recursive and thus broken makefiles). Autoconf's caching is broken though, just as many of it's checks (also because of bad coding), and for packagers it should be possible to just supply the answers instead of running all kinds of checks (we might want to look at wrapping up the makefile creation (and other .in file expansion) to see whether we can do that all without running a ./configure script) Paul -- Paul de Vrieze Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.devrieze.net
