 Jonas Smedegaard reports:

 {{{
 The autotools shipped with hulahop 0.4.9 seems broken.

  * The option --disable-maintainer-mode is unsupported
  * libtool fails, seemingly treating compile flags as build options

 I have worked around it for now in the Debian packaging by regenerating
 autotools, but ideally it should be fixed upstream.

 As a related note, I noticed (because I now keep close track of *all*
 licensing info. including autogenerated files) that the autotools files
 shipped do not always progress: sometimes (I believe it was with
 sugar-toolkit but might be another core library) a newer release ship
 with older autotools files (e.g. not shipping the - funny in our context
 - - m4/ltsugar.mk file).
