Actually, I'm unable to get autogen.sh to complete in HEAD unless I append "-I m4" to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS as in the patch (and remove "AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])" from configure.in). WIthout doing that, I get: libtoolize: AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) conflicts with ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS=-I guile-config. autoreconf: libtoolize failed with exit status: 1 In case it matters, I'm using Autoconf 2.61, Automake 1.10.1, and Libtool 2.2.4, as part of Ubuntu 8.10.
