objective-c support in autoconf...

[e.sammer]

all:

after searching the list archives, i couldn't find an answer to this, 
and there's nothing in the info pages for autoconf, so i thought i'd ask 
the list...

i'm working on a number of objective c applications that compile against 
the GNUstep libraries. due to my need to make use of libtool and desire 
to standardize, i'd like to use autoconf / automake / libtool. the 
problem i'm having is that there doesn't seem to be any kind of macro 
for initializing or testing the objective c part of gcc (maybe similar 
to AC_PROG_CC and friends). i noticed that automake and autoconf both 
seem to know about Objc files (.m) and use $OBJC as the compiler 
variable, but nothing in the standard macros seem to populate these 
variables.

should i just write a set of tests by hand or is there a secret i'm missing?

thanks in advance...
