Hi Alex,
| I could split it into four or five patches (that would be
| incrementally applied) e.g:
|
| 1) gcc style cpp depcomp
| 2) patsubst style variable substitution
| 3) suffix supplied dependencies
| 4) improved suffix rule recognition
| 5) per target built source hooks.
|
| I would be willing to add tests for new features (so long as this
| didn't result in the patch being rejected for being big <g>)
Do you still consider doing this?
| If I was to do this, would someone with CVS access consider applying
| them in a timely manner? I suspect I might go mad trying to maintain
| five source trees for any length of time.
I would. Well, we the approval of some other people, of course, but
we'd do that quickly. In addition Automake is not changing fast
enough to become a problem :)
