I have noticed a few other items in UBC3.

 * autoconf fails on hardy, but no one is committed to resolving this.
   I think this directive in configure.in needs to be bumped to get a
   better error (i.e., "won't work, so sad"):
        AC_PREREQ(2.53)
   but I did not determine what version was needed.  The errors were
   about m4sugar macros not in 2.61, including m4_cond and m4_apply.
   I arbitrarily put 2.62 and it gives this better diagnostic:
        $ ./autogen.sh 
        configure.in:26: error: Autoconf version 2.62 or higher is required


 * The way linuxcncconfig.py is generated won't work when
   linuxcncconfig.py-tmp is edited and make is run.  Instead of munging
   the autoconf output in configure, consider having
        def autoconf_bool(s): return s == "yes"
        ...
        value = autoconf_bool("@VAR@")
   as appropriate.  Another alternative would be
        yes, no = True, False
        ...
        value = @VAR@
