Re: [PATCH][WIP] Automake conversion take 1

Hi,

patch looks good at first glance...
Unfortunately it's not against current cvs :( But it should not be a problem
yet.

the question is, want we lose commit history for files that we will rename
or we go to use alternative to cvs (e.g. subversion)?

if we not go to use alternative we should probably create a branch for this
stuff and if it's stable for most people merge it back into head?!

Thoughts?
