I wasn't referring to the tools.. I was referring to the idea of
putting all this stuff into kaffe. It's a half-baked idea because
as of yet it just plain doesn't work.

On the other hand, I think it's a noble effort and hope we can get
it to work... and I'm personally willing to be patient. But the
key is that it has to eventually work, without special hacks,
versions and environment variables. I'm not a automake or libtool
hacker (or whatever) and would prefer not having to become one..

Thanks,
