My impression is that the macro submitter now has to maintain two files:
- the m4 file, that should be readable by autoconf, and that
he/she is using in his project
- and a separate XML file, that duplicates the code
Is this correct? If so I hope you'll continue to maintain the
old format.
I understand the former could be built from the latter, but as
far I'm concerned I maintain my macros *in* the project that
uses them and I'm not willing to complexify my projects'
building rules for the sake of the ac-archive (the autotools
infrastructure is already complex enough). Adding some comments
in the file is fine, adding more files or Makefile rules isn't.
