I was a vocal advocate of the GPP4 effort to the CCP4 exec while there
were problems with the licensing of the CCP4 core libraries. Now that
the core libraries are back under LGPL(v3) I'm afraid that I don't see
the point. Given the amount of work supporting software generates, and
more importantly my total inability to understand autoconf, I have to
think very carefully about what I support.
While I have no objection to people linking any of my applications, or
indeed Coot, to GPP4, if problems arise then I can't commit to providing
any assistance.
Given that the current CCP4 build system is somewhat non-standard, I
might be prepared to support an effort which provided an alternative
build system to work with the CCP4 provided source code, however.
