Independent of the question of whether or not in-line comments are a
good thing (they probably are for many people), I'm afraid we cannot
apply the patch since it would potentially break existing user
configuration files.

As for the build problem: use 'autoreconf -i' to create a configure
script, not just 'autoconf'. This will call all the obscure
autotools commands in the right order.
