After some poking around, I think it can be done though I'm a little stuck.  Without being a Bakefile expert, I think it's possible to use the <output> tag from the makefile to generate the file I want.

Consider the following snippet:

<output file="version.m4" writer="ac_version.empy"/>

This requires my custom ac_version.empy file and that means it must be installed in the bakefile program directory.  That's obviously not very useful.

Is there any way to point the writer path to an arbitrary directory?  If not, is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
Stef
