There's a bug in the tarball.  It appears to be new to .96 

When I run ./configure, I get a warning about the script "missing" (an actual 
file called "missing", not a file that isn't there) not including the --run 
parameter.

I compared the configure and missing files from .95 with .96.  Both configures 
include a call to "missing --run", but the "missing" script in the .96 
tarball doesn't include that parameter. 

Running the "missing" script (part of a GNU utilities package, it appears) 
with the -v (version) option produces for .95:

missing 0.4 - GNU automake

for .96:

missing - GNU libit 0.0

The .95 included one from automake includes the --run parameter as called by 
configure.  The .96 included one from libit doesn't.

As my system was already configured for the compile from .95, and that error 
isn't fatal, the configure completed and I successfully compiled and 
installed.  However, I suspect that if <whatever> had been missing or the 
wrong version or whatever, the error message .configure spit out might not 
have been correct.  I didn't, however, look into the script further, to see 
just what the damage might be..
