Charm++ parallel programming system

[Fernando Stump <fernando.stump AT gmail.com>]

If we go on step back. 

I want to use parfum in a a large code with few dependencies. This code is 
currently compiled with the help of automake to create makefile. So instead 
of creating my own makefile ( as on the examples for charm++/parfum)  I wan 
to use automake and charmc.

The question then: Have anyone used and documented automake (or cmake) with 
charmc?

Thanks
Fernando
