thanks.
this created a symlink in src/build-aux.
I will replace the symlink with the file and commit it into my cvs, but
this episode made me wonder
1. should I always invoke automake with --add-missing?
2. will automake notice that it has a newer version of something for
build-aux and tell me or do I need to check that myself every once in a
while? is there something like gnulib-update for build-aux?

thanks.

Sam.
