[... snipped ...]

| you should patch Makefile.am when your port install is using automake
| (doesn't appear to me so). otherwise you have to patch Makefile.in
| because this is the source configure builds the final Makefile from. In
| case you don't want to run automake just for creating that modified .in
| file, it's really better to modify the .in file itself.

OK now. Seems that a little understanding of how
automake/autoconf/configure work was needed.

Thanks Alan and Simon for your suggestions.

I have now patched the Makefile.in and everything works smoothly now.

There are a few minor things to check still, but perhaps I should open a new
thread, since they are not related anymore with the subject.

Thanks also to Miguel Mendez, Jonathan Fosburgh and Will Andrews for
other suggestions.
