OK, now I have the sources. It says you have to run autogen.sh. I don't think
this will work very well, unless you have exactly the same versions of
autoconf and automake as the developers. Unfortunately we don't have much
choice with DJGPP, since we only have a couple of ports of automake &
autoconf.

Is grep 2.5.1 a CVS snapshot?

BTW the package on the 2.04 testing page is completely broken, because it does
not include some important files like "missing", "depcomp", "install-sh", etc.

Bye, Rich =]
