As someone having to deal with auto* on a daily basis in OpenBSD ports, please, please, please, please no. It is a major pain to work with and continues to waste hundreds of hours of developer time fighting with its quirks and stupidities. Imakefiles may not be the nicest or most modern build system around, but they get the job done and do so in a much more transparent manner than the monstrosity that is GNU auto*. So, please point out your reasoning *why* you think replacing Imakefiles is a necessity and why that replacement should be Autotools. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
