Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for your explanation of why autogen.sh -1 can 
fail (with ntop-2.1.3).

With FreeBSD-RELEASE, I think the most recent versions of the GNU auto 
tools are

autoconf        2.53
automake        1.5

Whereas the configure produced by autogen.sh failed with autoconf-2.13 
and automake-1.4, these versions were able to build ntop-2.1.3 on 
FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE.


Thank you,

Yours sincerely.
