This looks weird to me, autoconf should handle that just fine: "-- Macro: AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR (DIR) Use the auxiliary build tools (e.g., `install-sh', `config.sub', `config.guess', Cygnus `configure', Automake and Libtool scripts, etc.) that are in directory DIR. These are auxiliary files used in configuration. DIR can be either absolute or relative to `SRCDIR'. The default is `SRCDIR' or `SRCDIR/..' or `SRCDIR/../..', whichever is the first that contains `install-sh'." -- perhaps this was a left-over from times when autoconf was more fragile? I bet we have more places where we have some work-around logic left from the old days. Maciej
