yeah, that would work, but the question is: "is this right or wrong?" i
can use the patch for fedora, too, but it's more beautiful and more
transparent if i use the patch for epel and the _real_ autoconf in
fedora, or?
It's debatable. I usually argue that using autoconf is easier for a
reviewer to see what's going on and better for getting the change upstream.
But the other side of the coin is that different versions of autoconf
produce different output and sometimes that output has subtle bugs.
