Hi Gianfranco,

automake and libtool are no longer explicit dependencies in my latest 
upload to mentors [1]. But I haven't added pkg-config. It is not 
required for building libcgicc and I could not find a mention of 
pkg-config in the dh-autoreconf documentation. But if I'm missing 
something than I'll be happy to add the build dependency.

Thanks for that. I had not appreciated that packages may contain 
bit-identical files. That does indeed solve my problem, and I have 
patched out the --host and --libdir options and re-added the script to 
the package.

Thanks again for your continuing efforts!

Thomas
