I prefer having the built files in the repository. Use AM_MAINTAINER_MODE, and spurious rebuilds won't happen to most people. In this scenario only people who need to hack configure.in or a Makefile.am will need the maintainer tools. Take a look at the last month's archives of the Gnome mailing list. There you can see many, many people struggling with the current scheme. Arguably this is the fault of the tools -- but us tool people don't get these reports, the Gnome hackers do. If you really like the Gnome style, though, use `autoreconf' and not autogen. I particularly dislike autogen, though I guess I don't have a very good reason why. Tom
