The following is part of what is currently displayed when running configure:

Report bugs to <r45c at mail dot ru>.

All instances of that should be updated to reference the Qico SourceForge project, at https://sourceforge.net/p/qico/bugs.

    Reference seems to be in the generated configure script rather than in the configure.in script.

    +Since the 'configure' file is generated from configure.in by autoconf during the initial configure step when using automake/autoconf, why is the file in the code

    Had started removing the automake related files by removing the configure script but a basic set of cmake files are not ready, so put it back in.

    This was corrected in the source file configure.in with [cbcef6].

    The generated file configure, like some other such generated files, is still in version control; from back when it added to the orginal CVS repository. It has been getting updated over time but the question now is if such generated files should kept in version control at all.
