This is something I've been working on these past couple of days. I
just got fed up of the complete pain in the arse that maintaining RHUG
packages is: it's just too easy to lose resources from libraries or
jars, get confused over $(srcdir) != $(builddir), link the libraries
incorrectly so they don't dlopen(), etc, etc. So I'm writing a
templater to generate the awkward files, starting with Makefile.am and
configure.in, but later to include the spec and rml files too. The
input files to the templater are tiny -- ant's one is less than a
screenful. Attached is commons-logging's one, if you want to see what
they look like.
And yes, I'm aware of the irony of writing something to generate files
for other programs that generate files :)
