Thanks, it is great news. Actually i have been shocked, may first
point of view was that it is too much for me, try to port some
software without gnu autotools support.
But if autotools could "fly" under Plan9 it is not so bad as i think :))

I have forgot, another one question: what about Java under Plan9? Is
it possible to have JVM? Or no suitable package available? ))
