I thought I'd mention that I just discovered that I've been using autoconf 2.5 
instead of the required 2.6+

Apparently there are some requirement/build-dependcies that are not checked as 
I'd expected (no errors).

        Automake >= 1.11 
        Libtool >= 2.2.2 
        Autoconf >= 2.6.0

My build process is currently very fragile. Don't be surprised if you find 
something wrong with my scipt.

If you're able to produce a working binary, please let me know which gcc you 
use for FLTK? ... and what compiler are you use for the fortran dependencies.
