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 :) Gary
