Hi Andreas,


thanks for looking into this.

The questionable section was motivated by [1], I'll need to check 
whether this is really needed, and what advantage this provides.

And yes, the "Makefile" should not be part of the distribution, as 
configure will generated those from Makefile.in



Kind regards,
    Alois
