Sigh, automake should be renamed to automasochism...
Would you accept patches for some other improvements, like generating xz tarballs and modernising some bits of the autotools infrastructure?
In particular, if wanted, getting rid of the package-of-packages layout in alsa-tools and have it be a single package with a single configure script like alsa-utils is something I'd like to get done in my copious free time.
I myself don't mind any changes, but don't know what other people think. I guess the current structure of alsa-tools was done so that you can build some of alsa-tools components even without the installation of full dependent packages.
This was the era before pkgconfig, and auto-tools required the explicit macro definitions of the dependent packages. With pkgconfig, this is no longer true, so it'd be OK to unify, but let's see...
In anyway, just send patches if you think they are good.
thanks,
Takashi
