Possibly true, but try to keep a clean separation between Autoconf and Automake. Autoconf shouldn't have to know about removing files and such things. Just provide a list of files that you generate and then the makefile author/generator can decide what to do with it. After all, the problem really only affects a few temp files potentially left over from configure or config.status. All other files are already accounted for. Don't try to change everything. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED]
