Only Linux is supporte= d... The part I find funny is that he calls everybody who doesn't like autoconf a "winer" (am I a winner, a whiner, or a wiener? there's a critical letter missing here) because it makes portability "quite easy" and then proceeds to rant about how maintaining portable code is too heavy a load for his projects to bear. So it's too hard, but only winners think he's doing it wrong? Micah
