Sorry about that, I thought you would merge it yourself (do you not have commit access for autoconf?) It's merged now. I had to add a change to tests/local.at to allow AR to be set. Did you ever get around to checking whether there was code in automake and/or libtool that is now redundant to this macro? zw
