Thank you!
That makes me feel safer about the project.
I tried as an experiment last year to see how far I could get without
using any kind of configure script, just with a GNU makefile (*). It
turns out that one get everything auto* gives you plus it is faster,
more user friendly, more programmer friendly and doesn't result in
(extremely!) big configure shell scripts.
*) It has cached feature tests and header dependency tests. There are
commands (make targets) to list the caches and to flush them etc.
I /could/ make it generate a "config.h" file but it is cleaner to rely
on standards for the most part and a few -Dxxx=yyy parameters to the
compiler for the rest.
