Over all things I think this is a big big improvement. Many thanks! 

I would like to suggest one change to a comment to configure.ac which
I'll send privately. And when I cd into the debugger directory and try
"make distcheck",  I get this error which I don't believe was there before:

./config.status: line 1: cd: ../../emacs: No such file or directory
config.status: creating emacs/Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: emacs/Makefile.in

I have a feeling $srcdir is inherited when it shouldn't be. Otherwise
things look very good.

Yes, please. And the value in debugger was 2.50.

It's very generous of the autoupdate folks to coerce everyone to into
getting new (and sometimes incompatible) versions of
autoconf/automake.  But let's not take advantage of this fabulous
offer when it is not needed as is the case here.

Please go ahead and check this all back into CVS taking into account
the above changes as you see fit.
