18 Some ideas for the future

Here are some things that might happen in the future:

• HTML support.
• The output will be cleaned up. For instance, only variables which are actually used will appear in the generated Makefile.in.
• There will be support for automatically recoding a distribution. The intent is to allow a maintainer to use whatever character set is most convenient locally, but for all distributions to be Unicode or ISO 10646 with the UTF-8 encoding.
