[Expat-discuss] RFC: unitool -> universal toolchain instead of autoshit

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,


I've started to write down some concepts for an universal toolchain
command as an platform-independent frontend for toolchain and 
installation commands. It is supports crosscompiling, sysroot-building,
file installation + packaging, library management and system property 
database as fundamental concepts. 

No more "checking whether 1+1 ..." anylonger. 
Instead create a *strict* set of commands which can be really 
assumed to *work*, and of course *exactly the same on every platform.

When using unitool, about 95% of the configure stuff is obsolete. 
We dont need to find out how to call several tools on a certain platform, 
now we definitivly *know* it. All platform or toolchain specific stuff
is hidden behind the individual implementation of unitool.
