I'd prefer the re-autotool stuff to be part of the user build process.
I was going to propose this for ImageMagick, as it reduces the patches
from approx 1 Mb down to 2 lines. Much easier to understand.

Hmm...
I think Chuck better look at the buildscript, there seem to be a couple
of (unnecessary?)kludges throughout the script. For instance,
re-autoconfilizing the autoscripts shouldn't be a necessary step in the
user build process. You should do that ahead of time, delete the
autom4ate.cache and other garbage, then make a diff against the
results... There are a few other things that could be improved in the
source package ( but I'll leave it to the veteran package maintainers to
comment ), but AFAICT the binary package works fine.
Cheers,
Nicholas
