how portable is xargs ? like, beyond POSIX, as autoconf & automake both
support non-POSIX compliant systems. i want to use it in its simplest
form: `echo $var | xargs rm -f`.
automake jumps through some hoops to try and limit the length of generated

per your request, the default is unchanged. e.
i can work with this
so plan is to update maintainer/maint.mk:
* web-manual will insert a link to the full versioned index in the index.html
that gendocs.sh produces
* i'm assuming that we don't want to modify lib/gendocs_template since it's
synced with upstream gnulib
* web-manual-update
as folks are aware, some projects require specific versions of autotools.
the exact reasons don't matter (e.g. committed files ala gcc/binutils/gdb,
working on an old branch/release, etc...). i'd like to focus on one part:
downstream distros will often carry backports to keep older versions workin

the ACLOCAL_PATH functionality is useful (adding search dirs after -I),
but a bit unwieldy as an env var. any reason we can't add a command line
option for this ? call it --aclocal-path ? or --extra-system-acdir ?
or some other other boring name ?

currently the automake website only hosts one manual version -- the latest.
when working with older code bases, especially when trying to update them
to newer versions, it can be helpful to have the older manual available to
quickly refer to. can we do this for automake ? i'm thinking of just the

for example, i have code like so:

i can't imagine this is a big runtime penalty, so why does configure check for
the perl's thread settings and then hardcode that in the generated automake ?
it means if you change your perl config or deploy an automake package on a
system that has threads disabled, you get errors when trying to
i'm working on a project (urjtag) that has yacc/lex files in it. and other
files in the directory depend on the generated output from yacc/lex. so the
automake file looks something like:
libbsdl_la_SOURCES = \
vhdl_bison.y \
bsdl_bison.y \
bsdl.c \
