I've modified it to work with automake and autoconf. There's a new tarball at http://chapters.gnu.org/~bjg/test-releases/gsrc-0.2.tar.gz http://chapters.gnu.org/~bjg/test-releases/gsrc-0.2.tar.gz.sig Any top-level configure arguments are passed down to individual packages. A normal "./configure && make" builds everything. The user doesn't have to edit any configuration files. The documentation is also built, and "make distcheck" works. -- Brian Gough
