This was the last in a short thread that was caught by the anti-spam filter. I promise I won't ever go on vacation again.

The line you quote is not a literal part of configure.in, but created by autoconf. Which was the value of that variable? The "latest development version" is probably either 0.92.29 or .31, both tarballs have been built using autoconf 2.50 IIRC ... --- Alexander Mai [EMAIL PROTECTED]
