non dfsg compliant build scripts



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

hi,

im maintaining `di'. However, with the latest release, upstream decided
to completely switch over to `iffe' as configure replacement. `iffe' is
licensed by the AT&T Source code Agreement, which is, at least to my
knowledge, not considered dfsg compliant.  As it stands, im not able to
use the old, dfsg-free scripts and to simply remove the non-free parts
from the tarball, like i did in the past.

Shipping iffe in the source tarball would not prevent any user from
deriving/modifying/patching `di' itself.  As long as iffe doesn't get
installed as a package, nor is represented as being part of `di', I
don't see a problem, though. Please speak up :)

bye,
    - michael
