Technical Issue Help : Code analysis of "GNU Autoconf Archive" project is wrong

Hi Robin, you are right. It's going to be hard to come up with an automatic scheme to decide whether Autoconf code is supposed to be included in project cost calculations or not. Custom-written ... [More] Autoconf code can be quite sophisticated and is thus expensive. On the other hand, Gnulib or Automake can generate a fairly large amount of Autoconf code almost effortlessly and thus inexpensively. I wouldn't know of a way to distinguish these two cases. There's probably no silver bullet to answer that question. Allowing a human to decide -- to configure the calculator -- is probably the way to go. Take care, Peter [Less]
