Hi,

now when we have new release infrastructure for win32, I think it is the time to reconsider Linux/*BSD releases as well.

I think goals should be:

- make it more standard (autoconfig) etc...

- make it possible for other maintainer to release

- include posix src release into the new MakeInstall2

- anyway, the most important part to keep is that file structure of makefile has to be *generated* from TheIDE.

I think that it should work by adding new Makefile option that would be somewhat prepared for autoconfig, not listing those variables at the beggining.

This generated stuff should be universal across platform and would be generated for each release (I will add umk option for that). Then there would be community contributed building files (I really do not undestand fine details well Wink

for various OSes that would be much more stable, manually created and using this synthetic file.

Please, comment!
