Re: Future plans for Autotools

[Karl Berry]

    I think automake really needs to support this soon.

Sounds reasonable to me, but to be clear, Automake will only support
things that volunteers care enough about to actually dig into the
code and write patches for. New developers/maintainers are needed.

As I previously explained(*) / pleaded, Jim and I simply cannot commit
the necessary time for substantive development -- we can't even keep up
with incoming bug reports and interesting suggestions. --best, karl.

So far the response has been nil.
