DESCRIPTION

AutoCons is a cons Construct generator similar to ExtUtils::MakeMaker or Gnu Autoconf except that cons is far more portable than make. For the developer, this means that your program will build on any system that cons will. For a user, this means that you don't need a "make" program to build your program.
