Maybe it should be possible to disable all GNU-specific things with
--no-gnu? --ignore-standards? But what? And why?
-Think about modifications so automake can work with a standalone
-library, eg readline. For instance we need a way to install a
-library, and a way to install header files. It would also be nice to
-figure out some good way to deal with shared libs. When doing this,
-make sure kpathsea can also be handled.

Allow ".h" files to appear in blah_SOURCES; just write them out of
existence. [ This is nixed for now because of the auto-dependency
tracking stuff ]

+================================================================
+
+Libraries:
+
+* Need a way to specify library should be installed
+* Should support standalone library along with subdir library in same
+ Makefile.am. Maybe: turn off "standalone" mode if library's Makefile.am
+ is not only one specd?
+* Need a way to install library header files.
+* Need a way to handle shared libraries.
+ It would be really interesting to be able to easily (as the end-user)
+ make many different versions of the library: shared, static, profiling,
+ debug, optimized...
