pkgsrc-wip/pmk/TODO
Blair Sadewitz 5d5ad93f4b Add PMK, the "pre make kit" version 0.10.3. I think that this has
potential to be very useful within pkgsrc (the more we customize the code
and add features, the better suited to pkgsrc it would be).

Everyone wants a BSD-licensed build tool--this is the only actively
developed, highly portable (doesn't do non-POSIX systems, though), one I've
seen yet.

Blurb:

The Pre Make Kit project is a toolkit providing a collection of tools
aimed to ease a lot of stages in project development. It provides a
scanner that generate template source components such as configuration
file or makefile. It also provides a dependency checker that sets up
templates files depending on the system components (such as auto* tools
or similar projects). For portability purpose, a BSD like install
program is also part of the kit.

The project aims the following goals :
- opensource (BSD licensed)
- portability (ISO C, POSIX, compatibility layer)
- speed and memory lighweight (compiled C binaries)
- security (replace scripts by data files, priviledge separation)
- simplicity of use (generation tools, few basic instructions)
- dependency low cost (only needs a POSIX shell and a C compiler)

The provided tools are:
- pmksetup: static data gathering tool
- pmk: dependency checker
- pmkscan: source scanner and build file generator
- pmkinstall: BSD like install program
- pmkpc: pkg-config compatible tool

- Integrate this with pkgsrc.
- Don't rely on pmk.conf for tools.
- Add USE_FEATURES support for building the package as well as
to the feature detection code in pmk so that it can pull in
headers from and link to libnbcompat.
