There is an LVM-emulation utility called 'evms_pvremove' that should be used
on unassigned PVs to remove them from the LVM region manager. It is basically
the opposite of 'evms_pvcreate'. We are working on similar functionality for
the GUI.

If you are inclined, it would be interesting to see if you have the same

Ok. So the idea would be just to run "make configure" instead of explicitly
calling "autoconf"?
-Kevin
make configure", it fails because Makefile tries to
include make.rules, which is deleted by "make distclean". So you would have
to remember to run "make configure" before running "make distclean" in order
to pick up the aclocal.m4 changes. Or just revert to running "autoconf".
Or is there another way? I'm not very familiar with automake, so I could be
totally out-of-whack here.
