Yes, again something both maintainers should look at. But if I
understood Marco correctly then he actually wants to make the 1.97
release.
Okuji seems to be hard to reach currently.

Hm I don't know. The current source directory could be outdated and then
the release tarball wouldn't match with it.
Though I don't know if that would be better.

Attached patch is now with just Makefile.in using `svn export'
I wasn't sure if I should print an error if that fails and then how to
do it.
svn export || (echo "you need a SVN checkout" && false) doestn't look
that good to me.
