> Components: Build Process
> Affects Versions: 0.9, 0.9.1, 0.9.2, 0.9.3, 0.9.3.1, 0.10.0, 0.11.0,
> 0.12.0, 0.13.0, 0.14.0, 0.14.1
> Environment: Any platform where autotools is available (so really any
> platform).

> Priority: Trivial
>
> Add "foreign" to "AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE()" in "configure.ac" to prevent autoreconf
> complaining about "missing" files. Autotools projects have historically
> required these to be present, but their absense is are less critical these
> days.
