Hi Eric, thanks for the timely info.

Quoting from there:
  * Include Debian patchset 2.67-2

Ouch! On my Debian box, I had to build my own autoconf 2.67 from sources
to use with automake, since at least this chunk of the debian patch: 

 --- autoconf-2.67.orig/lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4
 +++ autoconf-2.67/lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4
 @@ -843,7 +843,7 @@
  [m4_append_uniq([_AS_CLEANUP],
    [m4_divert_text([M4SH-INIT-FN], [_AS_ERROR_PREPARE[]])])],
  [as_fn_error m4_default([$2], [$?]) 
"_AS_QUOTE([$1])"m4_ifval(AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD,
 -  [ "$LINENO" AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD])])
 +  [ "$LINENO" AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD ])])

introduces spurious differences in the generated configure (yay
for them).

So it seems like Peter will have to build his own autoconf 2.67 by
hand after all :-(

That considered: Peter, do you now think it's ok to apply my patch?
