Re: Problem installing MTL with gcc 4.1

This hullabaloo about versions of autoconf/automake suggests a basic 
flaw in how MTL is distributed: People trying to build and install an 
unmodified source distribution are not supposed to need autoconf or 
automake at all! The configuration is supposed to be done by the 
configure shell script and Makefile.in files, which the MTL developer 
generates using autoconf/automake on his or her MTL development 
computer. Users of MTL may choose to use the automake/autoconf system 
for their own code (as I do), but MTL should not force that decision on 
them, much less require a specific version.
