	Wow! dunno what i would do without a tool like this.  it
	uses three templates for C/C++, fortran, and pascal[?].
	builds neat auto makefiles that seem to work anywhere.  i.e.:
	bsd and linux.  probly all nixes.

	well, i'll spend a few hours for the weekends ahead and port
	to ubuntu.  --note that i do not know how to add anything to
	the linux packages and wont even try.

	tx, polyt, appreciate it....
