I was meaning basically to get rid of the hand crafted and perl makefile/config files. I'm inclined to just move forward unless someone raises a significant objection. So how about this: Fri May 6th - unless we've heard a "don't do this" - we drop configure, configure.pl, and make the autoconf build the official primary build. We can look at possibly making the ming build use autoconf later, but for now, I'd say we keep using the Makefile.mingw hand edited file. It would make sense for us to try and update the spec files, and other build scripts - cause the change to autoconf will impact packagers.... -- Nathan ------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan Neulinger EMail: nn...@um...
