   Yes, but for Mac OS X, the target `all' should depend on target
`budnle'.  That's the part I don't know how to do, but then I haven't
tried to figure it out either.

   I did and I'm quite pleased.  I've even submitted an additional
paper to a conference I hope to go to entitled "The Hidden Benefis of

are missing my not using autoconf/automake.
