That sounds like a good idea. If you want to comply with the GNU Coding Standards to the letter, you should execute one `install' per file though (but I'd not recomment that in this case). > For the distfile, I didn't see any good way. dist-hook:, and use $(distdir) in there. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
