I don't think an autoconf update should have an effect on any /running/ software but build systems. And I don't see how rebuilding all the software improves it. This is not a criticism - I just think there is something I don't understand and that worries me. Regards -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
