That's good to hear. So you exercised the whole
automake/autoconf/libtool chain? If so, then how did you put together
your -src package for libx*?
(I ask merely because I'm curious: if you re-auto* a given source
package, then there are LOTS of changes and your diff is very big.
Alternatively, you can make minimum changes to high-level files like
configure.in and Makefile.am -- resulting in a small diff -- and have
your build script re-bootstrap during the 'prep' phase...but that
complicates the 'mkpatch' phase. This latter approach is a real PITA --
but it's the only way to reliably generate a small patch that can be
submitted to the upstream maintainers. NOT that they would accept such
a patch if it's generated by a non-regulation libtool or when they're
not ready to move "up" to the most recent autoconf/automake...sigh)
