Bugs remaining:

  - build hopelessly broken on anything other than the version of Debian
    used by the author. (OK, that's hyperbole.  It's certainly broken with
    "GNU Make 3.80" )

  - no information from the make file to tell what version of ANYTHING that
    is required to build tlator.

  - no information in ANY OTHER FILE in the tarball to tell victims what
    versions of tools are required to build tlator.

These are old problems, solved by automake and autoconf a long, long, long
time ago.  For crying out loud, could you at least provide the 3rd bullet
in your next release?  

Sheesh.
