Hi,

I just fetched the new GNU fileutils-4.1 and tried to build and install them
(with 'make install-strip'). In order to do so, I had to apply the following
patch (bad make-syntax from aclocal.m4).

Moreover I had to manipulate the time-stamps in order to prevent autoconf
from starting to mess things up. Since autoconf-2.49e is still labelled
`development' and is not available from the regular GNU FTP server, I was
somewhat reluctant to install this version and am still using the old
autoconf-2.13. Is this autoconf situation going to change in the near
future????
