GNU make and BSD make are really two very different animals. Actually, I'm not sure I really like the direction that GNU is trying to take build configuration. I would much rather see them try and encourage a make using something similar to our /usr/share/mk/* than try to circumvent the whole idea with huge cumbering monstrocities named auto*. To be fair, I'll use autoconfig, and it's better than nothing (intended as a compliment, not an insult), my religious differences or no. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
