Hi,

I'm not really a automake-expert - just a user, but I would like to see your 
code. I have a similar problem.

I have created a web-application-server with a template-language for c++ 
called ecpp, which uses a precompiler to generate cpp-files out of 
ecpp-files. Until now I have used a custom-make-rule, but I'm looking for a 
way to integrate it better with automake. It would be great, if I could just 
enumerate my ecpp-files to generate a plugin-library for tntnet.

Another problem I have are dependencies. Ecpp has es include-statement. The 
ecpp-compiler ecppc supports generating make-dependancies like gcc with -M. 
It would be great, if I can teach depcomp about this.

I looked at depcomp, but it looks like a monolithic script. What do you think 
about some plugin-mechanism for depcomp to teach depcomp about other 
programs, which generate dependencies?
