Whohaey. So 'multiplatform' means 'runs on one Unix flavour (Linux, no less...) and WinNT'? This is the kind of thing I would use a manual Makefile for.
I agree with you and my 'multiplatform' does include other platforms. However, do we ever achieve multiplatform even in this narrowed definition? *Lots* of work needs to be done to compile lyx under cygwin/windows etc. I was not saying autotools can not eventually achieve smooth 'configure; make; make install', I was saying that to achieve that, using another tool (like scons) might be easier.
