Do we actually want that? Now buildconf.sh overrides our svn provided and maintained config.guess and config.sub with the ones installed with libtool, which are often pretty outdated. That might influence negatively the ability to build expat on modern systems.

My impression is, that those are the only preexisting files, so omitting "--force" will correctly install all other files, at least if we always them up during previous buildconf runs.

Second question: where do we want the libtool m4 files and aclocal.m4 during expat buildconf to be located: in the expat top directory or in conftools? I had the impression you want them now in conftools, but then there are some more fixes in the expat buildconf necessary, at least for libtool 1. I have them ready but want to make sure I understand your intention.

Rainer
