	Few if any of the developers have seen the bug - that makes it hard
	to test/fix.

	The next release candidate should be up Real Soon Now - but then
	that's been the case since Xmas time ;)

	automake/autoconf version problem.   libtool-1.5, automake-1.7.x (or
	1.8 which is also reported to work), and autoconf 2.53 or later
	(newer is better of course ;)) work fine.   It seems that the SDL
	kit is required - not sure if it's an auto/conf|make bug or what.

	At any rate the fix is in, and there was one chap who did get the
	cvs version to build on a system with an older glibc and reported
	that the problem does indeed appear resolved.

	Cheers,
