Hi Ralf,

in order to configure autoconf I needed to install GNU m4. Then
everything went fine.

I used the git branch but couldn't apply the patch via
patch -p1 < patchfile. So I did it manually.

There was one error I assume is negligible:
cd ./doc && \
  makeinfo --no-headers  -o notes.txt notes.texi
/bin/sh: makeinfo: command not found

configure complains

"configure: error: cannot find sources (libtoolize.in) in .. or .."

There is a libtoolize.m4sh in .. but not a libtoolize.in.

What shall I do?
