autotools2
==========
This software is in its cradle, it's not useable yet, don't even try to use this
in production :)
Auto tools bundle that is more flexible and more lightweight
This bundle supposed to be compatible with the original autotools,
it's mostly written in C++ and bash, the produced configure script is meant
to be more flexible and more readable.
This bundle is meant to support most modern features, including modern languages
like java and C#
Why it exist
============
Because original autotools are a bit complex to use and produces over bloated shell script,
which even if it's very cross-UNIX compatible, it consist of constructions that some
users might find ancient, and that we today, can do more easily.
Differences
===========
* Written in C++ and hosted here on github, so that anyone can easily contribute
* Using LGPL so that it's suitable for commercial solutions as well
* You can use // comments in configure.ac scripts
Note: This source code was written from scratch by me, it doesn't use any original
code from GNU auto tools, and therefore is not bound by its license.
