Re: configuring sub directories optional

[Stefan Seefeld]

yes,

AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(dirs, [action-if-succeeds], [action-if-fails])

is exactly what I had in mind. The parent configure should however
really test the script's exit status and not rely on the creation
of a file. Which file should be choosen ? configure could still
fail after any one file has been created (for example if another
file couldn't be created due to permission problems).
