One of the things I hate about the current structure is that I am forced to run runConfigure with the same arguments three times, for the sources, the samples and the tests. Will the new ./configure be placed in the "c" folder and automatically generate the three Makefiles?

Just to keep a little excitement going here, I've got a bit of status on one of the projects for "Xerces 3".
Xerces is building and running tests in a generic autotools-style build using autoconf/automake/libtool!
- Uses a single large automake generated makefile to build the entire Xerces src directory.
- Additional automake makefiles for obj, tests, (and samples)
Some benefits of these can be seen already:
- the end of runConfigure: ./configure knows how to pick the compiler and recognize the platform and other attributes.
- the end of XERCESCROOT: Test programs are generated with shell-wrappers by libtool to do this for you.
- Support for auto-selection of missing functions, (stricmp, etc.)
- Built-in support for creation of dist archives.
This can't be, and won't be, completed until we move to svn, fork the trunk, and start work on refactoring more of the platform-level support, but it's a hopeful start.
