Ciao Lachlan!

No ... :-P

Well ... however that's gonna be something we'll have to face anyway. 
Unfortunately I can't do much on OS X systems as I don't have any computer 
with it; also on SF compile farm the Darwin shell has been removed!

I understand what you mean but I'd rather send a patch to the group. Also 
many things have changed as far as autotools are concerned and many MACROs 
we use or other techniques have been declared 'deprecated'. I refer in 
particular to:

- acconfig.h which should be substituted by calls to AC_DEFINE(QUOTED)
- the htconfig.h.in must be changed to htconfig.h and the default config.h 
file should be created by autoheader

There are other small changes that should be applied but I don't wanna talk 
about them now. Only when I have a patch ready maybe.

For your curiosity, I just changed the configure.in file on my laptop and I 
was able to run:

- autoscan
- aclocal
- autoconf
- autoheader
- automake

and ... finally ... autoreconf without getting any single warning.

I hope I can provide a patch very soon (I just came back and I did not have 
any Internet connection and I just need to cross my fingers now for CVS 
update). :-)

Ciao ciao
-Gabriele
