Hmm, "it builds" is a bit optimistic.  "It sometimes builds".  I think
it's the well known time-stamp-without-running-autotools problem.  If
nobody objects, I'll fix it by running autotools during build.

Ok.  That should not collide with my changes in configure.ac and
debian/rules, so feel free to commit them when you like.

When it didn't build for me just now, running autoreconf -f -i -s made
it work.  However, debuild didn't like it because there were symlinks,
so I reinstalled the files it complained about from the tarball
(omitting the -s would probably have worked as well).  Anyway, running
autoreconf in the build process should help.

I'll be more or less off-line until januari, but we may meet there
anyway.  E-mail is probably a better means of communication during the
next few weeks though.

Thanks,
Bas
