It looks like we need a compile-farm script to exercise all major=20
options conbinations on the several platforms that are available to us=20
:).
We could then deploy the script on the several platforms once a day=20
during the busy pre-release period or whenever major configurations=20
changes occur. The script  should do a cvs checkout and several=20
configure/make/test phases, sending the results by mail to the list (or=20
the user).

1 - Meanwhile, I got the following warning:

[jcard@feup] ./bootstrap.sh && ./configure --enable-octave=20
--enable-dyndrivers --with-double --disable-static=20

2 - Also, when configure reaches libbltdl it does not uses the configure=20
cache, which can make configure faster:

configure: configuring in libltdl
configure: running /bin/sh './configure' --prefix=3D/usr/local/test  [...=
]=20
--cache-file=3D/dev/null <----------------

3 - Also after a "make maintainer-clean", make stops with

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/jcard/plplot/bindings/python'
python -o plplotcmodule_p_double.c -c++ -DPL_DOUBLE \
plplotcmodule.i
