First: http://groups.google.com/group/licq-dev/msg/90613e216c3ac2b5 My personal objections are: - It's slow! - It's not easy to grasp what's actually being done... - ... which means fixing build problems takes more time than it should. - The admin dir is 588kb - Did I mention that it's slow? - Probably some more stuff that I've forgotten. The question is then: Why not switch? - The current system works (most of the time). - Autotools is probably more widespread. // Erik -- Thinking of Emacs as just an editor is like thinking of the space shuttle as just another part of the public transportation system. -- Dave Kenny, comp.emacs Erik Johansson http://ejohansson.se
