Things to think about: ********************** -* Talk with RMS about his so-called `automatic package generation -tool.' This is probably what Thomas has been murmuring about for the -Hurd. We'll need to integrate package-supplied programs such as -libtool into that scheme, since it manages some of the preinstall and -postinstall commands, but isn't installed itself. Probably, things -like libtool should be distributed as part of such a binary package. - * Maybe implement full support for other orthogonal library types (libhello_g, libhello_p, 64 vs 32-bit ABI's, etc). Make these types configurable.
