Hi Doug,

I saw your other message and I'll surely answer and apply your
suggestions as soon as I can, but let me make a quick question and
comment on my design here :)

I tried to follow the exact same design we have in gdb/Features.  There,
we only have a Makefile that doesn't depend on the configure script.  If
I understand correctly, all it takes to generate the files is a simple
'make blah'.  I tried to reproduce this behavior here.

Even though I understand the obvious benefits of using the configure
script, is there any actual differences between the expected behavior in
gdb/Features/Makefile that justifies it being a simple Makefile?  If
not, I'll probably work on a follow-up patch adjusting it, as well.

Btw, can any of you guys provide me with more information about the
maintainers mode?  I couldn't find many explanations in the Internals
wiki.  I can update the wiki once I have a better understanding of
it.
