Create next copy module is IMHO not correct way. Better is prepare branch.
Look on gnome cvs - few modules have two or more copies and this is not
good because not all know what is current.

Daniel OK. but look this in spe not dso importand change. This touches
only building automation and nothing more.

And this is next thing to do. I can repeat: I'm not so good XML/C
programmer but I think I know and understand very good am/ac/libtool
abilities. Commit this file and say what you expect and allow people like
me prepare all other automation for make this simpler by short "make dist"
in project root directory.

OK .. I'm not say before I'm understand all.
