Sorry if this has been brought up before.
I would like to propose we modify automake (and autoconf) to allow
multiple versions of automake coexisting on a given system. In our
work, we used various open source libraries and each one of them work
with a particular version of automake. This makes it hard for us to
upgrade. If automake can be specified as automake-1.4 and
automake-1.6 like what tcl did in the past, this will make people's
life a lot easier.
Since I am not familiar with the inner work of automake, for the
already released versions, how hard will it be to patch them to allow
for this? I would really like to have 2 libraries using different
version of automake to work together.
Thanks in advance.
