Dear Maintainer,

Currently this package FTBFS when compiled in new architectures (as ppc64el)
that is not supported on the outdated package autotools files, mainly because
it fails to understand that the new architectures has support for shared
libraries, as shown below: 

        dh_install -a
        dh_install: libopenvrml9 missing files (usr/lib/*/libopenvrml.so.9), 
aborting
        make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2

The full log could be found at
http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/ppc64el/debian/buildd-upstream/build_logs/logs/openvrml_0.18.9-7_ppc64el.build

I created this patch that call autoreconf to updates the autotool files during
the build, as suggest by the following wiki:

https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS#A2014-01-21_using_dh-autoreconf_during_the_build

I tested it on ppc64el and it worked.

Thank you,
Breno
