Furthermore, I'd need to replace +compat.h because that's what gnulib is used for. + +My question is: would it hurt your feelings if I'd rip off the old +build system completely and substitute it with an autotools build? + +Or, are there any complications / problems I do not yet see? + +Supporting two build system in parallel definitely is more +work, but it would be possible if feasible in some way. + +Thanks for any opinions. + +Regards, +Claudio + +--
