Well, if automake had a parser that could reliably detect all of GNU make-specific syntax and skip over that, then it could just as well interpret it, too, at least those parts that do not still contain @[EMAIL PROTECTED] Just to set expectations straight a bit more, automake isn't even able to distinguish between rules and other code in all cases (and it's rather slow already). Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
