Hello,

Current cvs of 2.10.11 still uses old configure scripts. I just want 
to ask for the update, and it's easy to do. The "configure" script is 
still generated with autoconf 2.13 (Ven 15 jan 1999), we have 2.53 
now (stable!). These GNU tools are updated at least each year, so it 
would be nice and permit some new OS like Darwin to compile without 
having to deal with the sources or configure scripts (that's the 
worst). But more important than the "configure" script, there are 
config.guess and config.sub. As there is not Makefile.am in the 
source, i suspect those were added manually, and, now aren't kept 
up-to-date :( In order to update them, there is a new release of 
automake (1.6), available at ftp.gnu.org.

% autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.53
% automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.6

With autoconf 2.53 and automake 1.6 installed, one way to update is:

cd ircu2.10
rm configure config.*
aclocal && autoconf && autoheader
cp /usr/local/share/automake-1.6/config.guess .
cp /usr/local/share/automake-1.6/config.sub .
cvs ci ;-)

(may need some changes for the paths)

% head configure
#! /bin/sh
# Guess values for system-dependent variables and create Makefiles.
# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.53.

Thanks for your time :)
