Hello!
The title pretty much sums it up; hopefully, this patch makes it easier to use various prefixed tools, like a cross-compiler.
I'm basing this off the newest tarball for download, but please let me know if I need to recreate it ('tis only four lines, after all :)
I think you should also assign AR at the top of each Makefile with:
AR = @AR@
Well, I can safely say I learned something about autoconf today :)
Here's a new version, then.
Thank you Grisses, I've included your patch in next commit [r9845].
