It's ok...I think we each sent one :-) I know I sent patches for autoconf
and for libtool (both of which needed it). I just think that maintainers
sometimes assume that the upstream fixes the problem and forget the
patch... Nothing against them, but I know it happens (I know it
well...two words: ObjC patch in binutils :-).
I'll see if I can break the "chain of command" here and go directly
upstream. It's just not getting done otherwise. Plus, now that the
PCA machines are prevalent, it's that much more important.
