I feel there is some ambiguity in the QF setup: On the one site, there 
are autoconf files, but one the other side, pre-build conf files are 
supplied (and even checked-in into the repository).

IMHO, the most stable solution would be to drop the autoconf-generated 
files altogether and let the users generate them in any case using the 
bootstrap script. They have to do that step anyway if there is any 
problem with the pre-built config files.

Of course, this adds another step to the installation of QF and requires 
  some assistance in the installation of autoconf tools (e.g. on 
Solaris), but in the end this is the way autoconf is meant to work.

Caleb, could you give autoconf a try?

Cheers, Jörg
