Maybe, I don't understand this well enough, but anyway, why do we require automake 1.10.1 for everyone ? Even for people not using make dist or the tarball at all. Who does use "make dist" by the way ? Is it only Pavel, or do other people do this as well ? For me, requiring this means that I can no longer compile on Linux as I don't have the appropriate rights there to update automake. Vincent
