Sounds reasonable. Others have said "you don't need autmake with Ada".
That's almost true, but any _real_ project also has tests,
documentation, and distribution needs which are beyond Ada's scope.
autoconf/automake help with those tasks, and Ada needs to at least
cooperate.
I'm using automake in an Ada project (a GtkAda interface to a books
database). It's not ready for prime time yet, but I'd be happy to
exchange notes about autoconf use.
