extending automake support for exotic languages

[Guillaume Rousse]

Hello.

A colleague of mine developped a custom language for natural language 
processing, called DyALog 
(http://atoll.inria.fr/~clerger/work.html#DyALog). In order to ease 
module development, he also extended automake to support this language. 
However, he is currently maintaining it as a patch against current 
automake version, which is quite a nightmare. Is there a more convenient 
way for doing this ? I suppose you don't intend to accept a patch for 
every minor research language in the world.
