Could you write one? See tests/README for guidance. Also we can't install such a new feature without a proper update of the manual. Finally, you should also submit a ChangeLog entry along with your patch. I think that's all :) (All this is summarized on http://sources.redhat.com/automake/contribute.html) Michael> The one bit which I'm not sure about regards file Michael> extensions.

This probably breaks stuff which Michael> assumed ".f90" was handled by f77. I'm not a fortran user, but I've always wondered why .f90 was listed as an extension for F77. Moving it away sounds sensible to me. -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
