Hi Wes,

One change seems to be missing from this list, namely commit
9a2753282c6a ("new autoconf"). That commit regenerated the configure
script with autoconf v2.69. Has it been considered to also switch to
newer versions of automake (v1.11 -> v1.16) and libtool (v2.4 ->
v2.4.6)? I have to reapply several patches manually after every
autoreconf run to fix bugs in the old versions of these tools. One of
these patches has been documented on
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Build_System.

Thanks,

Bart.
