I could add that patch but the above won't work too nicely.
That's because configure.pl needs to be called with VERSION="3.0.0" to
produce a "good" version number. Just have a look what 'spamc -V' gives you
without that -- should be something like "SpamAssassin Client version
3.x.x-r20500".
Instead of getting rid of the symptoms I'd like to fix the real problem :)
So what are you missing? Should configure.pl should pass all unknown --args
to the autoconf stuff? Theoretically it already does this (look in line 43)
but maybe there's a bug in there...
Cheers,
Malte
