How should I start helping with porting to GNU autotools on the
autotools branch so imake can be removed and CDE installs in proper

current imake files and make a fresh autoconf setup by scratch? Or
what should I do?
Currently we have a separate branch for autotools work: autotools-conversion
So, I'd start by checking out that branch and going from there. We have
already made quite a bit of progress - most of it already builds and
runs on linux.
The remaining pieces are dtinfo and the documentation.
Also, testing on other linux flavors, fbsd, openbsd, etc...
Do not delete any of the imake stuff in there yet - I will handle that
when the time comes. It is not being used in that branch but it helps
to be able to reference it as development proceeds.
No doubt there is still plenty to do/cleanup. As for moving the files
around (/usr/dt/ etc) I'd prefer to wait on that stuff until we can at
least get it all building and matching current master CDE in
functionality and running on the same OS's. Then we can merge it to
master and begin making those kinds of changes.
