Hello:

     Thank you for the information. This is very useful. I have not heard of 
Autotools.

Regards,
Robert

Hehe, that's of course not what I wanted to hear. There is some inertia to move 
to another build system. One of the nice things about autotools is that they 
are well established. Bert is using them now with some maven plugin to 
automatically build maven packages to use in the braille modules of pipeline 2.

I'm still hoping that there is a decent workflow to use autotools to get 
windows binaries.

Thanks
Christian
