linux-fsdevel volunteered a script that worked.
What evil effects that same script has if run out of context, I do not
know.
Pat LaVarre
P.S. Specifically what worked after `cvs co udftools` from sourceforge
/cvsroot/linux-udf was:
$ cat ./bootstrap
#!/bin/sh
find . \( -name autom4te.cache -o -name libtool \) -exec rm -r {} \;
aclocal
libtoolize --force --copy
autoheader
automake --add-missing --copy
autoconf
$
$ ./bootstrap
...
$
The linux-fsdevel thread that places this script in context includes the
