Small note about build system;

* The ./configure expect for template listing template in "template" dir
but it is "src/template" (see line 132 in configure.in)

* A question, try anyone compile PG after 'make depend'?
It show some warning messages.

And a second question, how clean 'depend' files? It is not posible via
'make clean' or 'make distclean'. Bug or feature?

IMHO is not bad idea use "central clean" via
rm -f `find -name "depend"` (or something like this), if I good
remember this "find" method use an example Linux kernel build system.

Noted.

Elaborate.

And a second question, how clean 'depend' files?

find -name depend | xargs rm

It is not posible via 'make clean' or 'make distclean'. Bug or feature?

Consequence of other features:

* make clean removes all files created by make all, except those that you
want to include in the distribution.

* make distclean removes all files removed by make clean, plus those
created by configure

* make maintainer-clean removes all files removed by distclean, as well as
those that are in the distribution.

The depend files do not fall into any of these categories. Eventually
we'll generate dependencies automatically as a side-effect of compilation.
At that point they will also fall under the make clean (or
maintainer-clean) category.

If something in build system create some files, I mean that build system
will knows how remove itself this matter. Expect some external
'find ... | rm' is a little dirty...
