RE: [evlog-dev] PATCH: using autoconf/automake for evlog

I have tried the patch, it worked properly in my redhat 8.0 box. There is
one little problem with the `make maintainer-clean`, it removes
"autom4te.cache", but actually it should be "autom4te-2.53.cache". I think
it should be an automake bug.
