 Hi,

I just pushed build-system changes:

 - clean up AC macro names and move all macros to m4/ul.m4

 - add macros (UL_REQUIRES_*) to maintain dependencies between components (e.g.
   mountpoint(1) requires libmount)


and some developers oriented changes:

 - add a new script tools/config-gen to call ./configure script with
   predefined set of options (defined in tools/config-gen.d/), for example:

        ./tools/config-gen all

   will enable all possible utils

        ./tools/config-gen devel non-nls selinux  

   will enable all possible utils, devel options, selinux support and
   disable NLS.

   Note, it's NOT expected that end-users or downstream will use the
   config-gen script. This script is for developers only.

 - add build-system regression test (based on tools/config-gen), note
   that the test is not enabled by default, you have to use:

        ./tests/run.sh build-sys --force


See Documentation/howto-build-sys.txt for more details.

    Karel
