The DOC group is interested in getting help to finish the ACE
Configuration Project, which will fully integrate autoconf, automake
and libtool into the ACE+TAO+CIAO build process. This is work in
progress and works well for ACE and TAO. It is not recommended for
regular installations or builds for CIAO yet, but if you want to help
us improve autoconf support please contact <A
