I'd rather have a working tarball.. I don't care how. I just want it
working. Sure, I can just have my SPEC file rerun regen.sh (well,
I'll do it manually -- no need to regenerate the man pages), but
that's kind of grody.
I agree that it would be nice to just upgrade to new auto-tools, but
that hasn't happened and as far as I can tell it wont ever happen..
I mean, 2.5x has been out for several years now and the server still
isn't using it, so I have no faith that this is going to change anytime
soon... :-(
So.. I'm trying to work within the boundaries of the existing system
so we have a working tarball.
