I was wondering how difficult it would be to modify Automake such that
true extensions could be written. For example, Automake has built-in
support for Libtool's LTLIBRARIES primitive. Wouldn't it be cool to
support a type of primary extension file, that would allow one to define
a new type of primary? This file would provide the rules that a new
primary would support, lists that it would update - like the distro file
list, etc.

Just a thought. Would this be particularly difficult?

John
