Problem: it seems that there are few (and luckily only few) active packages
that still use the `ansi2knr' option:
1. The latest version (8c) of the libjpeg implementation from IJG (Independent
JPEG Group, <http://www.ijg.org/>); see the `configure.ac' file from the
archive <http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v8c.tar.gz>
I created most of the libjpeg build configury. The official
maintainer (Guido Vollbeding) added the extra AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
options.
So, maybe it would be worthwhile to directly inform the maintainers of the
packages mentioned above that still use de-ANSI-fication feature about its
oncoming deprecation and removal. WDYT?
If they do not hear about it, I am sure that they will learn once the
option stops working.
