Well, I think part of it is a good idea. As a starter, you could split
up CProject with according class members and methods. That would give us
a start but I think we could do this top-down.
So first thing to do would be to get a new root instance to the
classtree so you have one root item for each sub-project (e.g. a
library). Wouldn't it be good to organize that in an XML file and
provide CProject with conversion methods so it still can load old
projects and rewrite the project file in XML ?
Then you could structure the project file much better and provide a tree
structure for Makefile.am's, according rules and files and as top the
projects.
Finally, the writing of the Makefile.am would allow even writing into
the same Makefile.am for two or more targets. How about that ?
