[Bf-committers] configure.in et. al. missing from CVS

[Gregor Mück]

Great. What an excuse.

Using the new system to cross-compile will probably lead to wierd and complex 
hacks around scons functionality (at least you need to determine and use two 
compilers - one for the host platform and one for the target platform). I am 
not able to do that.

And I am not willing to invest time into a poorly designed build system (scons 
is one in its current form) when there is an alternative available that does 
not require this amount of effort. I have other work to do as well.
