Yes and it was hard to change in the 2.0.x releases. We just began the
actual work on 2.1.0 in CVS (the tree is being reorganized).

It is one of the first thing I like to fix in CVS once the autoconf
and cmake scripts are updated (to work with the new src tree).

The issue #55 will contain all progress information about this problem.
