is there any reason not to use the latest release?

as you're looking in the wrong place. The type of questions
you're asking are more appropriate for the package
management system, and you should be making changes to
your spec file and your debian/rules file, etc.

o. The user has more
control over certain aspects of the build,
but less safety because no checks are
done during configure time to ensure
that libbar even exists, unless the
maintainer takes extra steps to do so
beyond invoking PKG_CHECK_MODULES. There
is an extra level of indirection available

It seems that if PKG_CHECK_MODULES were simply
expanded to invoke AC_LINK_IFELSE to check that
the contents of the .pc files are valid, then
there would be no issue at all.

I think that's invalid. pkg-config does provide the option to
do an explicit version check, but it is the maintainer that
exercises that option that is departing from the autoc
"random order". The ordering
is as imposed by the author of configure.ac. @FOO_LIBS@ @BAR_LIBS@
leads to -L/foo -L/bar, while @BAR_LIBS@ @FOO_LIBS@ leads
to -L/bar -L/foo.

You probably want $srcdir/collect.rb. (Sorry,
that doesn't answer your question, but your
current setup won't allow a VPATH build.)

Not that I know of. What tree structure are you proposing?
I suspect that would be a contentious issue
UTOTEST = $(AUTOM4TE) --language=autotest

I just cloned a8eb8963bbcb4d7f278ab8fece54f64e1334
from Savannah and ran into a problem building. Following
the directions in README-hacking, I ran:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ ( PATH=`pwd`/tests:$PATH; autoreconf -vi )
Which failed with:
...
configure.ac:21: error: Autoconf version 2.60 or h
I'm curious about the fact that when I run autoscan, it generates
a configure.scan with the line:
AC_PREREQ(2.61)
Should that be AC_PREREQ([2.61])?
