projects using libt2n-codegen must include the makefile snippet themselves.

multiple command groups test: howto multiplex multiple commands on one stream?
don't multiplex but a select on multiple groups would be nice

include problem:
- i don't see a solution using gccxml
- a simple solution would be to have a special include file containing the neccessary includes (or 2: one for the type definitions and one for the serialization)
- another solution would be to extract the includes from the file and add them to the generated code
both solutions only work if the include paths used during compilation of a program using the library are correct[tm]
now we use the first solution

- test using valgrind
- would be nice to reduce amount of changed files
  (codegen output is often the same as the existing files - something similar to ccache
  for codegen - but not overwriting output files if they are the same)
- howto include the part after "# always the same:" in all makefiles using the codegenerator
  (we now use make's include)
- lib name should be group name + suffix/prefix
- at the moment make dist from within a clean source will not work
  (this is related to the nodist problem / old automake version)
- the example should not get installed (but still it should show how to build a lib that gets installed :-(
  (overwriting install: doesn't work)

- dist-hook in included makefile does not work (because automake doesn't see it!)
- CLEANFILES doesn't work in included makefile either

BUG:
- first time builds without dependency files fail (.P)!
  maybe yet another problem caused by automake?
  probably yes
  AHH:
  automake supports include
  the real problem is: at the time automake runs there is no include!
  (since it is "added" by the configure script)

  => the real problem:
  configure should find the make file snippet
  Makefile.am should include it
  automake is run before configure (on the Makefile.am)
