[Barry-devel] autoconfiscating barry (take three)

[Peter M. <pet...@gm...>]

Linked to this email are my proposed changes which autoconfiscate the barry
project. There are three files:
1) A tarball of the barry source tree with my changes applied:
http://www.aoeu.ca/barry/barry.autoconfiscated.tar.gz
2) A small patch (already applied in the tarball) which changes the
files already within the barry source:
http://www.aoeu.ca/barry/barry.autoconf.diff
3) Notes on how to go about turning a CVS checkout of barry into the
autoconficated version (like the tarball):
http://www.aoeu.ca/barry/barry.autoconf.notes

My changes include renaming a couple files:
-The time.h rename was to account for automake wanting to build
everything with the -I. flag.
-Todo was renamed to TODO (convention).
-Changelog becomes ChangeLog (convention, and automake requires it).

The design choice I wrestled with most was the inclusion of libusb
within the barry source. I (and others, as the mailing list archives
attest) had trouble getting barry built against a more recent version
of libusb. Eventually this should change, but given barry's alpha
state I figured it was ok for now.

Please let me know what you think. I'm very interested in seeing this
project succeed.

(This is my third post of this email... the first one got canned
because I sent it from a non-member address, the second was because my
attached files were larger than the threshold allowed by sf.net. Sorry
about any confusion.)
