Bug#818456: zimlib: FTBFS: required file './compile' not found

Hi Martin,

I can reproduce this bug what surprises me is that compile file is
present in the source and still the error is given out.

Is it because compile file provided by upstream is older version?.  I've
no idea on how to resolve this bug so any hints suggestions are welcome.

Cheers,

Your memory is better than mine :)
Sorry, I can't remember which bug/package this might have been.

I have solved similar issues, with other packages using cdbs - which I 
suspect is not _causing_ this but related to it happening (the 
particular sequence of commands to adequately initialize autotools).

I will look into it.

I remember reading a similar bug report which had some discussion about
the problem.  Unfortunately I cannot remember the bug number.  But I
remember that gregor herrmann was involved, so I copied him in hope he
can help. :)
