Both is not true. Jan-Åke knows what I have done and he has even
supported this in the sense that if he had changed something, he has
given advice for me to follow this in autoconf-2.13.
Basically, it was not so easy to merge our autoconf stuff, because:
- my stuff supports uninstalled libraries (kpathsea, libpng etc),
making assumptions about certain features (standard autoconf checks
don't work for uninstalled stuff)
- my stuff was based on autoconf-2.13, his on autoconf-2.5x
Hopefully, things will improve with Peter's patches (which allow us to
use autoconf-2.5x in texk).
