Charles,

A few requests regarding automake:

1) Could you please include the attached patch in automake1.4?  This
makes automake-1.4 compatible with the other versions in accepting
- --force-missing.  Otherwise, when using autoreconf-2.5x and automake-1.4
together (yes, it does happen), autoreconf -f -i -v fails.

2) Could you please package automake1.5 as well?  freeglut uses it.

3) In addition, it is possible to have a wrapper for automake with our
setup.  Gentoo has a similar setup, and uses this:

http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/sys-devel/automake-wrapper/files/am-wrapper-1.sh?content-type=text%2Fplain

BTW, they have a different autoconf wrapper also:

http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper/files/ac-wrapper-3.2.sh?content-type=text%2Fplain

Thanks for your help.


Yaakov
