If you want to improve the Autotools setup, you will get this feature easily. The usefulness of "out-of-source builds / parallel build trees" might become obvious if more configuration variants will be considered for the software generation. > I don't want to make changes that are inessential and that I don't understand.

Would Rene perform such review tasks eventually since he was involved as a Github committer? Regards, Markus
