I am, but I haven't built guile-1.6 since I upgraded to the latest
auto* tools -- actually I'm not even sure I have upgraded as far as
you indicate above. However I did put a fix into CVS HEAD for to
allow newer versions of autoconf the other day. I have to backport
that to 1.6.
I'll see about your patch unless someone else gets to it sooner. I
think perhaps we should switch our checking in autogen to be disallow
known bad versions (i.e. autoconf < 2.5), rather than only allowing
known good versions. Otherwise we're going to get complaints all the
time as newer versions of the tools are released.
