I can't get it to work against a clean ecos-full checked out 20060823. After a bit of manually merging the rejects (some things changed since the patch was made) it patched alright. However the autoreconf step gives me errors:

~/Develop/ecos/host$ autoreconf -v
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal  --output=aclocal.m4t
autoreconf: `aclocal.m4' is unchanged
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: adding subdirectory infra to autoreconf

It certainly would be! After giving up on getting it to compile with the system provided wxWidgets (because of the unicode issue) I was in the process of trying to get the Xylanta patch to work on linux (which it apparently doesn't do automatically) when I found your patch. Let's just hope we can get the issues resolved and the patch accepted. I think configtool development is seriously harmed because it's so cumbersome to compile and depends on outdated libraries.
