Hello Scott, I am painfully aware of that, but what do you suggest I do apart from waiting for a new upstream version that fix that ? The last upstream version is dated from 1998 and do not contain the configure.in file, and I was not able to find it on the web. In any case, I doubt you would be able to process this configure.in file with current version of autoconf anyway. Beside that, I am still unsure whether the configure file was not modified by hand after being generated. This was not so rare in 1998. There is a plan for a new upstream version that would fix this, but do not hold your breath. Thanks for your bug report!
