It wouldn't hurt to have a "autogen.sh" script which invokes "autoreconf -if", though. > If 'autoreconf -if' will work in 'any' project based on autoconf, I will > probably have to rethink my default habit when entering the source of an > unknown project. It works on any *sane* project using the Autotools. There are some projects out there which invoke special magic in autogen.sh; "autoreconf -if" will probably not work with them. I'm not sure if gEDA/gaf does this, though (that's what I was asking about).
