Another problem I found was the use of deprecated headers.  Instead of
<foo.h> newer compilers would prefer you to use <foo> and then access
the 'std' namespace explicitly.  This doesn't actually matter for
compiling, you get lots of stern warnings but it still works.  However
for the configure script this warning causes a test to fail.  I suggest
changing one line in configure.in:

AC_CHECK_HEADER(fstream.h,nofstream=0,nofstream=1)

to

AC_CHECK_HEADER(fstream,nofstream=0,nofstream=1)

Of course if you do this, you should change the source files to say
'#include <fstream>' too, and probably do the same for other C++
headers.  So really the tail is wagging the dog, you end up changing the
code to make the configure script work.  But switching to new-style
headers is probably worth doing anyway.

After that I had one more error - 'undefined reference to .LC65' - but I
think the problem there is with my toolchain and not htdig.
