it's too late. script is too big to adopt and pl already done the new
version which solves the problems. btw only autoconf of autotools is
allowed, nobody wants to see gigz of libtool wrappers scripts and 200kb
makefiles created by automake, ah, and the usual auto* incompatibility
problems already known from avifile.
