I'm sorry, I thought that the changes were minimal. If there's a risk
to break something, this can certainly wait.
I didn't consciously update to 1.13, it was updated automatically with
other packages, but I can probably figure out how to downgrade.
(Nevertheless, if changes are minimal and easy to explain/apply, I
would be interested in knowing the patch. I know that I have to rename
configure.in into configure.ac, but there are a couple of other macro
changes needed.)
I'll try to downgrade automake and continue testing with that one. It
is still not clear to me why exactly the same aquaterm.trm (with
clipping) works fine in trunk, but not in 4.6.1.
