Hi all,
A series that I've had around for long time. It covers three main topics.
- misc cleanups and small reformatting in prep. for mesa support
- mesa support (10/10)
- give us control to autoreconf, configure and build_dir (09/10).
The last option might be a bit controversial, yet it effectively allows
us to remove the "user must run autoreconf/configure" requirement
from every single package. If configure is OK, `make distcheck' should
produce consistent result, and the tarball contents should not vary.
It also minimises the chances of stale (generated) files being used as
we suggest git clean -fXd/fxd, and we use fresh, unique build_dir. IMHO
it also makes things more reproducible, yet again... I'm too flesh on
the topic to be an expert.
As always, any and all comments, suggestions are appreciated.
-Emil
