TEA(ish) - a TEA-like build system implemented in autosetup

For y'all's amusement:

Background: in porting the SQLite project's build from Autotools to Autosetup, the so-called TEA build (Tcl Extension Architecture, a.k.a. tclconfig) was the final piece left to port. After getting that build working via autosetup, it was refactored into a project-agnostic TEA-workalike built on autosetup, called TEA(ish) (or teaish). It's not a clone of TEA, but it does adopt enough of its conventions that it should be easily to use for anyone familiar with TEA.

As of 3.50.0, SQLite's "autoconf" releases¹ will use this tool, which is already in the trunk. The site linked above is standalone teaish, independent of the SQLite project (except in the sense that there's a fair amount of cross-pollination of the Tcl pieces, in particular the project-agnostic utility code).

Footnotes

1. "Autoconf" is now a misnomer but we keep that name to avoid downstream disruption of, e.g., automated builds which download sqlite-autoconf-VERSION... (the most popular code distribution, by far). ↩
