Jean-Fredric,
I took a look at the .jar.gz file yesterday and, even
though I had to work around what seemed to my JAR utility
as something other than a .jar format, I could tell that
it looked something like an autoconf-type script. (I
have not yet looked at any updates since your first
message yesterday.)
I _definitely_ like the idea of automatic configuration
on the order of something smarter than what I have been
working with, as it will increase our flexibility in
porting. I too have been working in this arena, and on
a number of issues, especially for Makefiles for the
project.
I would like for you and I to get our heads together
on this soon. I will be checking in my changes related
to this before the end of the week, at which time, I
think we could talk about using your approach.
Thanks for your interest and assistance with this.
I am looking forward to working with you!
*** How about you other folks who have ported code
using autoconf and friends? What do you think
of this angle? All suggestions welcome and
indeed solicited. ***
