this is true, however I'm not a perl guy, neither an autoreconf fan, and I just
don't understand it so much.

I adopted this package because of boinc, and I prefer to just don't touch it anymore
until it breaks again :)
there is no active upstream, and I'm not sure I'll have time to dig into this issue.

Moreover the broken one was 4 days old, and when I uploaded it I didn't see this RC :)

so fixing was my real priority :)

(patches are *really* welcome, because I really have difficulties in maintaining such
buildsystem)


cheers,

G.
