I'm releasing a new version of autoproject. Many configuration
variables are now automatically set.

jm_CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_UTIMBUF from configure.in to new file
acinclude.m4.
2002-01-08 James R. Van Zandt <jrv _at_ debian.org>

from README:
autoproject - create a skeleton source package for a new program
autoproject interviews the user, then creates a source package for a
new program which follows the GNU programming standards. The new
package uses autoconf to configure itself, and automake to create the
Makefile. `make distcheck' succeeds.
The idea is that you execute autoproject just once when you start a
new project. It will ask a few questions, then create a new directory
and populate it with standard files, customized for the new project.
The version number for the new program is initialized as 0.1.0, and is
set in configure.in. It is available in C programs as the macro
VERSION, and in the Makefile as $(VERSION).
Optionally, the new package will use an external command line parser
or a parser generator. Currently, autoproject supports:
argp by Miles Bader, included in GNU C Library 2.1
clig by Harald Kirsch <kirschh _at_ lionbioscience.com>
(see http://wsd.iitb.fhg.de/~kir/clighome/)
autogen by Bruce Korb <bkorb _at_ gnu.org>
(see http://AutoGen.SourceForge.net/autoopts/)
I would like to support graphical user interface (GUI) as well as
command line interface (CLI) programs, but I have very little
experience with them. Contributions would be welcome.
