Ooh, I'd love to get *any* insight into what autotools does. OTOH, that could easily fly right over everyone's heads at the meeting (including mine)... Thoughts on that, anyone?
I certainly would second doing an RTFM bit on fink(1) (or is it (8)?). Any serious MacOS user (IMHO) eventually winds up needing one of those projects for *something* or other.
And another hat to throw into the ring: make(1).

I could do something on this (I was one of the project leads for the Fink project for a few years and have a fair knowledge of MacPorts).
Alternatively, I could do something quick on the autotools (also known as autocrap), if there is interest in that.

Yes, I think it's probably a pretty good book. John spent a few years hanging out on the lists while he was writing it, asking occasional questions, and answering others.
He wrote this also: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/books/autotools_a_guide_to_autoconf_auto...
