ok that's for me :-)


didn't notice the line to be uncommented in autogen.sh

but still, failing to process autogen with a version of a tool more
recent that ne one asked for when it states that X >=3D Y is required
isn't really great for the users that may want to try the conglomerate
editor.


I was also wondering, I saw some debian packages for the version
0.9.0, are some of these available for the 0.9.1/0.9.2 ?
