Hi,

unwilling to read generated makefiles or to learn Gnu Automake  
I happend to write yet another Autoconf/extconf/mkmf/etc  
replacement. My aim was to keep configuration as simple as ever  
possible and it is turning out to be really simple.

[http://bertram-scharpf.homelinux.com/tmp/autorake-1.0.gem](http://bertram-scharpf.homelinux.com/tmp/autorake-1.0.gem)

There is no real documentation so far but in a subdirectory  
“example” I leave a well-commented tiny sample project. Start off  
reading mkrf\_conf, then Rakefile if you like to have a look.

Please let someone me know whether this project is worth having a  
more exhaustive documentation or being published on RAA.

Thanks in advance.

Bertram
