configuration 'variables'

[Chris Vetter]

Hi,

I was wondering whether it wouldn't make sense to make all the 
HAVE_xyz variables available that are defined during installation of 
GNUstep. That would make it easier to program without having to check 
first (again) whether GNUstep is compiled with, for example, pthread 
or libxml support.

Since -make, -base and -gui already check for a whole slew of 
'features' why not store those in /Library/.../base.make and 
.../gui.make (or somewhere else) as well?

That would make the need of writing another configure script that 
checks for the same features again, or tons of ifeq(...) in 
GNUmakefile(s) obsolete.

Just a thought,
