Thats not quite what I was suggesting.

ake. RMS wanted 3DLDF to have a configure script and Makefile.in files with
all of the required targets and I thought that was reasonable, and even
desirable. However, the only practical way to do this, in my opinion, is to
use Autoconf and Automake, which are great in other ways. However, I think the

It may be worth noting that bison and flex, as invoked by automake,
have comparable issues with their ancillary files (especially
bison-generated headers). I never managed to figure a way to have
those work sanely with make either, let alone automake.

I think thats an incorrect statement. It would be more accurate to say
that CWEB hasn't been built with any thought to the impact on make. Make
has only
auxiliary program for
controlling rebuilding. It uses two bitsets: one for expressing dependencies
and one for keeping track of which files have changed. I originally tried to
get make to use it for rebuilding 3DLDF, but the default rules generated by
Automake required valid rules for building the C++ and
