Hi,

  I just wanted to let you know - as I'm sure you already do - that
Source-Navigator is truly an excellent product.  We use it here at
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for genome project code, and we
couldn't be happier.  It's very well thought out, powerful, and
extremely easy to use.

  If you're interested, here's a feature suggestion:  how about a way to
export all your different build configurations into a single Makefile,
with a build target for each configuration?  Just an idea.  Anyway, keep
up the good work, and best of luck in future endeavors.

This is actually what autoconf/automake/configure is for. Maintaining
different build configs in one Makefile is well nigh impossible.

Instead, we maintain configure.in and all of the various Makefile.am's
and we get all of the magic foo to make it build all over the place.

More to the point, this implies that we know all of our build targets up
front.  We don't.  Someone built S-N on FreeBSD last week -- until then, we
had never done it.
