Hi, autotools are still working on the project (and it's written in his mail), so I don't understand why you are blaming deki. I and lodesi have asked him to commit it when discussing on the IRC channel.
you must also knows than currently, there is a bug related to autotools (6673) which is opened since 18.08.2006... assigned to you, and still not fixed.
