TODO
Priorities for release:
* test new error message scheme!
* For 0.32: remove last mention of DIST_OTHER
Other priorities:
* Must rewrite am_install_var. Should break into multiple functions.
This will allow the callers to be a little smarter.
* Rewrite clean targets.
* Expand test suite.
Consider allowing mkinstalldirs, mdate-sh, and others to be put in
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR. Maybe even ansi2knr?
Testing: allow support for Cygnus-style dejagnu-based test suites via
an option
Think about ways to make automake fit better with Cygnus-style trees.
Use recode in dist target when MAINT_CHARSET specified. Read caveats
in automake.in before doing this. Note the same problem used to apply
to the no-dependencies option; maybe it still should? Note also that
each Makefile.am must be rewritten at "make dist" time if
MAINT_CHARSET and DIST_CHARSET are not identical. NOTE: gettext must
arrange for all .po files not to be recoded. In the long term this
might be a problem (consider when some systems use Unicode but the
rest do not)
Handle dist-zoo and dist-zip. Generally add more DOS support. Maybe
run "doschk" (why isn't this merged with "pathchk"?) when doing a
dist. Do whatever else Fran
