Here's a series of patches that adds automake support to the build. I've only tested this on Mac OSX, where make DESTDIR=/foo install produces an identical install as the original build, except that no link to screen-4.1.0 is made. (It just installs $(prefix)/bin/screen) There's room for improvement here, but I think this is a good start.
I think this list has a 10k file size limit, so I've prepared the patch sets to all be smaller than that, but the first patch set that simply removes src/configure.in, src/Makefile.in, and src/doc/Makefile.in is too large, so I'm not including it. It can easily be generated with: git rm src/configure.in src/Makefile.in src/doc/Makefile.in There are 10 patches, to come in subsequent posts. Patch 1 (not included as mentioned above) was prepared against commit 18796d59. -- William Pursell
