Conversation with Stig a/b configure.in

Here's what Stig & I talked a/b, although it appears that my logic may have been faulty. From: Joey Smith <joey@joeysmith.com> To: Stig <ssb@fast.no> Subject: Re: configure.in So it seems to me the best solution is to make CONFIG_FILES empty for the default case. Right now, it is getting defined in my system by the AC_OUTPUT on line 799. I removed all the files from this list, and I'm getting a warning, but as far as I can tell, it works...
