Hello,

I'm a new user to the autotools, and am wondering if there are any lint 
tools available for checking the "correctness" of a project's 
configure.ac file as well as its Makefile.am file--with regard to its
conformance to best practices. I have checked the archives of this 
mailing list and have not found any prior discussion about it.

I know there are various books and websites (such as 
https://autotools.io) that provide coverage of certain aspects of best 
practices, but an automated lint tool would be nice to use in addition 
to reading.

I *do* have a prototype implementation of such a tool but the code is 
currently exceedingly ugly.

Thanks in advance,
Gabriel
