Is there any reason to avoid LT_INIT and use AC_PROG_RANLIB instead? I thought that AC_PROG_RANLIB was considered deprecated, so that LT_INIT would be preferred here. -- William Pursell

bad idea. The project maintainer should not be deciding where the user must install the library. If the user wants to install ezproject in /opt/ezproject, he should to be able to do 'configure --libdir=/opt/ezproject/lib', but your setup will not allow that. -- William Pursell

file.am can contain: @MY_DEFAULT_RULES@ This mostly works, but there are a few cases where I need to have the generated snippet file be just the rule, so I can do things like: check-local: @MY_LOCAL_RULES@ The question is: is that a reliable technique, or is it a ridiculous hack that will someday come to haunt me? -- William Pursell

Here's a patch to prevent that grammatically incorrect text: "All 1 tests passed" Unfortunately, I haven't been able to build automake, so I cut-and-pasted from here into a Makefile to check the syntax. It's a pretty simple patch, and hopefully I haven't flubbed
