Obviously I spoke before reviewing the internals of the build system.

I have some interest, but I'm not sure of the time. I can at least look at it and possibly make some suggestions/patches. > Okuji already objected against automake because according to him it > doestn't satisfy the needs for our build system. I'm not a great fan of automake either. -- Bruce
