The patch I made is not perfect, it does #undef HAVE_HASH_MAP where it's needed
instead of fixing the configure script. To fix the configure script "the right
way" the changes should be made in the configure.in, and then run autoconf.

Also we would need a dependency in autotools to generate the configure script
in build time.

There are a few other things that might seem like a good idea to modify, the
package doesn't "clean" nicely, as some Makefiles refer to some non DFSG code
that has been removed.

The new upstream release does not fix any of this issues, but as the changes
are so big it makes sense to do them to the new version.

The change in the configure.in might be:
--- configure.in.orig	2008-03-26 11:44:14.000000000 -0300
+++ configure.in	2008-03-26 11:44:47.000000000 -0300

Would you care to upload the new upstream release?

Thanks
