[libdv-dev] Re: libdv 0.103 release

[Charles 'B. K. <kr...@ga...>]

Ok, I've generated the 0.103 release.

As part of the release, I've made some minior build changes, and
additions to CVS relating to the build.

Hopefully now, one can do a build from CVS or from the distribution
tarball without having autotools installed.  Of course, the correct
version of autotools would still be needed if you want to change
something in the build files.

Also, "bootstrap" is now deprecated, as autoreconf can do the same
things, and it is distributed as part of the autoconf package.
