Whups, already committed now, but even as it is it's an improvement
over the previous situation (an autogen.sh that tells the user to read
INSTALL-CVS is better than no autogen.sh at all).
The method you described wasn't completely fleshed out, and left a few
practical issues unaddressed. Nevertheless, my original patch
implemented it, or something very close to it, and Kim objected, for
reasons that make a lot of sense to me.
Emacs' bootstrapping is both different from, and more complex than,
most other projects. If we try to build too much intelligence into
autogen.sh, I think we'll just end up hampering developers. IMHO it's
better for them to just read & understand INSTALL-CVS.
However, if we can come up with some precise description of how
autogen.sh should behave, I'd be happy to implement it. Can you
describe exactly what you had in mind?
