Now that I read a bit about `automake' in the past, it seems the current approach is more the GNU way. I think also that the SVN approach would be the better one. Shouldn't be too hard to replace that `make dist'/DISTLIST/gendistlist.sh stuff with a small script which uses SVN for this. -- Felix Zielcke
