OK

I'll give it a run on testing, sid and karmic and will post the results.

Where should it be added and what should we do with the results we get
from the builder machines?

Thank you.

One more thing: while ACE now builds on Squeeze and Sid, it does not
on Lenny :-( I'm just speculating but I'd say this is because Lenny
has libtool 1.5.26 and autoupdate is not properly updating obsolete
macros. The error I'm seeing is the well-known BUILD_TESTS is not
defined:

autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
make: *** [autotools-stamp] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

Even if I modify patch 14-autoconf-tao to use AC_PROG_LIBTOOL instead
of LT_INIT, I'm seeing the errors:

Makefile.am:18: BUILD_EXAMPLES does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
Makefile.am:22: BUILD_TESTS does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL

Some magic is still needed for Lenny :-/
