It might be cool but I doubt you'll find much support for such an idea here. It would at least double the amount of effort involved with developing and maintaining automake, for no real added benefit (if you already have a basic makefile, what's the point in having _BOTH_ that _AND_ a GNU makefile--with the possible exception of a few special-case situations such as the one that started this thread). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
