Maybe for distribution people (although I haven't had that many complaints with my hand-written Makefile.in files).

I hate automake almost as much as I dispise GNOME 3. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
