You definitely need at least 0.12 and I think you'll really need 0.13.1.
Ok, thank you.

Check out the README.cvs file; there's a quick set of commands there that will get you from a vanilla CVS checkout to a distributable tarball.
Great, this README.cvs has all the info I need.
I attached a patch to revise README.cvs inline with the current autoconf/gettext versions required to configure etc.

* README.cvs: Update to make clear that Autoconf v2.58, Gettext
v0.12, possibly v0.13.1 and Automake v1.8 are required to configure for
development.
I am not certain about the Automake v1.8 requirement though, it seemed to be indicated in the Makefile.am file that it was needed. Could someone check I got it right please?
The big problem right now is that getting files added to Savannah is not so simple anymore after all the cracks. I'm not sure how snapshots like that would be published. I'll ask the GNU folks.
Ok, great, i look forward to hearing something about this.
Best regards
