Hey Matthias,

I think that is a great idea and I commend you for wanting to
contribute to GNU Automake. I use it nearly everyday in my work.

I don't have much to suggest. As I recall Automake is written mostly in
Perl which is not a language I have much experience with. However, if
you plan on using a native system language like C++, consider looking
at flexc++(1) and bisonc++(1).

Yours truly,
