I'm not arguing against the single-big-file-method... but I am curious: how does a 'read only' source tree affect this? If there is a Makefile.am in it that you want to use without alteration, you can just SUBDIRS= x y z #not subdir DIST_SUBDIRS=x y z subdir subdir_include subdir/Makefile.am Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
