Of course it must change in all upstream stuff that is lacking proper Hurd
support. There is no other way.
Luckily, it's not too bad. As I said, most packages which use autoconf also
use libtool, and we only nee dtp tweak one place. For the other, we just
have to cope with it. That's what porting is about.
