This branch contains an 'ar' emulation (file 'ar-lib'). Good. But how is the file 'compile' meant to be used? CC="compile cl" or how? In other words, if I set CC="cl", how are autoconf tests that run the compiler meant to be performed? People routinely use a program called 'cccl' in $ ./configure CC=cccl See [1]. Will that functionality be moved from 'compile' to a script like 'cccl' at some point?
