* Is the autom4te.cache generation (on my autoconf-2.59 system) optional?
I'm trying to minimize the file clutter that autoconf generates in my
developers working filesystem areas (eg, 'svn status' looks messier then
need be after running ./configure). Is autom4te.cache directory needed,
and if not, is there a way I can eliminate it's creation in the
configure.ac script? Is it fair to say that this autom4te.cache dir isn't
used/read by a human (something that one can not also say for config.log)
and therefore could be made optional?
