Now I understand!

I would agree with you, if every user who wants to try to use the CVS 
version would not be forced to have the complete automake and libtool 
toolchain installed.

I know there are some troubles, especially if different versions of the 
toolchain are around. I think we can live with this. It's better if 5% 
of CVS users have version problems than 50% have no chance to use CVS 
because of their missing toolchain.

bye, Michael
