Would you accept a patch for this?

What I don't like about automake (or rather autoconf) is that ./configure takes longer to run that the actual build of all in dvb-apps. I am somewhat familiar with autofoo, and I think that most of what autoconf does is pretty useless for Linux-only software. But if some of the other authors/maintainers of the stuff in dvb-apps like it, I'm easily overruled. Johannes
