Re: allowing users to add source files without rerunning the autotools?

Just a minor FYI and a minor question ...

Still, it's worth noting that it works with every make implementation
I usually test automake with:

  - GNU make (obviously)
  - FreeBSD 8.2 make (I'm almost sure this works with 7.x too, at least)
  - OpenBSD 4.6
  - NetBSD 5.1
  - Solaris 10 XPG 4 make
  - Solaris 10 CCS make
  - Sun Distributed Make 7.8 (2007/07/19)

So maybe it is "almost portable" today.  Does anyone know whether it works also
with the vendor makes for AIX, OSF1/Tru64, IRIX, HP-UX?
