Re: GNU Autoconf progress
Work on the new autoconf system going quite well. The
following platforms have been tested to varying degrees:
Debian Linux
FreeBSD 2.2.5
FreeBSD 3.0
We'd like to had your platform to the list!

Need detection of preemptive behavior
CPPFLAGS=-DPTHREAD_PREEMPTIVE needed on some systems
Need detection of other thread options.
Added --with-thread=manual to allow thread options
via CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS.
>> * Detection of Kerberos version
>> * Detection of DB2
Options now allow specification of API separate from DB type.
API: db2 db gdbm ndbm
types: btree hash
Added --with_ldbm_api=manual to allow LDBM options
via CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS

Need detection of compress manual support.

Added generic headers, see include/ac

No significant changes made here (yet).
* Added basic VPATH support
make depend needs work
make tests needs work

We especially need folks to run platform tests!
