That's part of my master plan.

That's what I gathered.

That, and Solaris too, but less so.  Oh, and I'm still working on
Cygwin at home.

Goodness.  I'll send him private mail about this.

No problem.  Here's my plan for configure.ac:

# assume PATH and LDFLAGS have sane values

# for each operating system type
#  prepend OS-specific bin/lib search paths
   FreeBSD:
         PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
         LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS:/usr/local/lib"

# use the entire search path for finding things
AC_PROG_PATH(CAT, cat)
AC_CHECK_LIB(m, main)

Jack.
