When normal practice for upstreams is to not ship any auto-generated files, and normal practice for users wishing to compile their own programs is to have autotools installed, then I might agree with you. Until then, I think that treating .ac files as if they're .c files is a canard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
