Hi Al.

something is ready in autotools-make2-WIP.
- ./configure creates Make2 files. one for each Makefile
  (nothing else touches them)
- contents of Make2 reflect configuration (currently some variables are
  set, one global template is used)
- the settings are unnecessary but authoritative during build, in
  particular after edits.

next questions:
- Make1 already exists. but also: autotools likes "Makefile.am"
  much better. how important is the file name?
- there is no Make3, only Makefile.in. the Makefile is built from it.
  how does this matter?

cheers
