Maybe the BF members could just run their default autoconf as part of the

you lost me on that one ... Tom is hestitant about moving to 6.1 because we
don't know what the fall out will be ... since I imagine the fallout would
be in the configure/build stage, if we modified CVS to have a 6.1 configure
script in place, wouldn't the buildfarm servers not be a good means to test
*if* there is any fallout?
If the first thing some of them do is re-run autoconf, then we should get
test results for a variety of versions as found on various distros. We would
then be able to tell which versions may or may not work which could help us
when we need to upgrade, or if someone has problems with a specific version
when hacking (which should be rare I appreciate).
Ah, okay, you are going for the 'remove pre-built configure from cvs' route ..
that works too, and does make sense ... wouldn't definitely make sure we get
broad coverage ...
No, I wouldn't remove it - leave it there for some BF members, but have
others regenerate it just for test purposes.
