If you patch the source to accept automake-1.10 and verify that things work well with it, then you could send that upstream. Many projects simply haven't updated their autoconf/automake files to recognize and use automake-1.10 yet. Unless there is some specific reason the software doesn't accept 1.10, that's what I would do. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I never met a morphosis I didn't like.
