Thanks.  This helped over the autoconf hurdle.  However, it sounds
pretty strange why documented functions stop working since an extra
macro set is missing.  I'd call this bad (broken at design).

Me (obviously) neither and since it works I do not see any reason
to derive from upstream.

Thanks a lot for your help
