Felix,

>OK. Please go home now.
Hold your attitude fellow.

>Whether people complained is absolutely _no_ measure for code quality.
Yeah, right. Subjective opinion based on your personal believes (like configure - sucks) 
is definitely a perfect measure.

>BTW: I think we actually talked before about vtun.  I complained that
>the "encryption" was not secure and your random number generation was
>predictable.  Your reply was "I don't care".  
That time we had different objectives. These days we got bunch of folks working on it.

>That's when I stopped looking at vtun.
Ohh, good for me. And please don't discuss unrelated projects here. 
My apologies to the list members for this discussion.

>Your vtun configure.in looks quite clean now, but you don't actually do
>any tests that need to compile anything like the MMX tests would need.
Other projects do compile programs to test stuff. Autoconf provides all necessary tools.

Ohh I see. You're saying that authors and developers of all those projects like: GCC, GLIBC, Squid, Apache, etc, etc
are all _wrong_ and _you_ are _right_. Way to go man, way to go.

btw Watch you language.

I didn't say quantity == quality. However the fact that autoconf is used by many projects and people that deserve a lot of 
respect definitely means something.

Well, it is not "hello-world style autoconf".

This discussion is not going anywhere so let's not waste other's time. If you think that autoconf sucks and people who use it 
are wrong it is up to.

Thanks
