Hi Lex and other thread contributors

I'm not an autoconf expert, install.sh was dropped back in August (see
https://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/cd07629fa7a53fb3).

What is the best course in light of this discussion?

BTW, I see I've got a lot of starred messages in my AsciiDoc mail folder
which I must make time to deal with, this one just jumped the queue.


Cheers, Stuart
