Also, in this case there is a small performance penalty for the existing code. One problem I see in automake is that the features we support add performance penalties to the resulting Makefile. This in turn can be used to argue against using automake. So I prefer to try to reduce these penalties when possible. As an example, I'm still interested in changing depend2.am so that if depmode=gcc3, then we avoid using depcomp. This will make depend2 a bit harder to maintain. But it will add a nice optimization for developers using free software. Tom
